Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s get started by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). I love the anticipation that comes with this step as I can already imagine the delicious aromas filling my kitchen! In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good whisk to incorporate everything evenly. You’ll want your mix to look airy and light. Then, in another bowl, combine the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract. It’s like a warm hug in liquid form! Now, pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
