Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together—it smells amazing already! In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Next, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Don’t overmix! The batter should be light and fluffy.
