Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your books are baked evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Baking Pan

    Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  6. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the baked books to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve your delicious creation!
