Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your dish cooks evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
Step 4: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Ensure that the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix, as this may result in a dense texture.
Step 6: Add Flavorings
Fold in any additional ingredients such as vanilla extract or chocolate chips, if desired.
Step 7: Pour into Baking Dish
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Step 8: Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 9: Cool the Dish
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10: Serve
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your baked dish with your choice of toppings.
