Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Ensure your workspace is clean and organized. Gather all necessary tools and equipment to streamline the process.
Step 2: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to the desired temperature. Allow it to preheat fully to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, measure and sift together all dry ingredients. This includes flour, baking powder, and any spices.
Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients such as eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 5: Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Combine until just blended.
Step 6: Prepare Baking Pan
Grease and flour your baking pan to prevent sticking. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 7: Pour Batter into Pan
Carefully pour the combined batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Place the baking pan in the preheated oven. Bake for the specified time or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: Serve or Store
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
