Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Gather all necessary ingredients and ensure they are measured correctly. This will help streamline the cooking process.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to the required temperature as specified in the recipe. Allow it to preheat thoroughly before you begin cooking.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Use a whisk to evenly distribute them and break up any clumps.
Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together until well blended. This ensures that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the dish.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
Step 6: Pour the Mixture into the Baking Dish

Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9: Serve
Once cooled, cut into portions and serve as desired, either plain or with suggested accompaniments.
