Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
Ensure that all ingredients are measured and ready for use. Preheat the oven to the required temperature and prepare your baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mixing Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and any other dry ingredients. Whisk them together until they are evenly mixed.
Step 3: Mixing Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Make sure the mixture is well combined before adding it to the dry ingredients.
Step 4: Combining Ingredients
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixtures together until just combined. Take care not to over-mix, as this can affect the texture.
Step 5: Adding Flavorings
If using, fold in any flavorings such as vanilla extract, chocolate chips, or nuts at this stage. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 6: Pouring into the Baking Dish
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring the corners are filled.
Step 7: Baking
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for the time specified in the recipe, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
Step 8: Cooling
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
