- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
