Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Workspace
Ensure your kitchen is clean and organized. Gather all necessary tools and equipment before starting.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Adjust your oven to the required temperature and allow it to preheat for the recommended time to ensure even cooking.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps.
Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing for a lighter texture.
Step 6: Prepare Baking Pan
Grease and flour your baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 7: Pour Batter into Pan
Carefully transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 8: Bake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for the specified time. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 9: Check for Doneness
Insert a toothpick into the center of the baked item; if it comes out clean, it’s ready to be taken out of the oven.
Step 10: Cool Before Serving
Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before transferring the item to a wire rack to cool completely.
