Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal baking temperature before you start.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease your baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk and melted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 5: Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
Step 6: Pour into Baking Dish
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7: Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
