Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later—I love using parchment paper! In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and mix in the granulated sugar. You want it to be nice and smooth, and the aroma of melted butter will fill your kitchen, making it feel so warm and inviting. Once your sugar and butter are perfectly blended, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Give everything a hearty whisk until it’s nice and creamy. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
