Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, I beat the eggs, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. I slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, creating a lovely, smooth dough. At this point, the sweet aroma of the vanilla starts to fill my kitchen, making me excited for what’s to come! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
