Gather all necessary ingredients and kitchen tools. Ensure that everything is within reach to streamline the cooking process.
Step 2: Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to the desired temperature. This step is crucial for even cooking and achieving the right texture.
Step 3: Mixing Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients first. Stir them well to ensure an even distribution. Then, add the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
