Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. I always find it makes a world of difference to have everything ready before I begin. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then set it aside. In my kitchen, I usually turn to my trusty electric mixer for the next step. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This process is not just about mixing the ingredients; it’s about getting that lovely air into the butter. Can you imagine the rich aroma? (See the next page below to continue steps…)
