Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I gather all my ingredients in my cozy kitchen, feeling the warmth of the stove already heating up. In a mixing bowl, I combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, whisking it all together until it’s smooth and lump-free. Then, I add the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract, stirring gently until everything is combined into a batter. It should have a lovely creamy texture that feels almost velvety. Make sure not to overmix, as that can lead to tough bites! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
