Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan generously, including the corners.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until blended.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry. Fold gently until no dry pockets remain; small lumps are fine.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan; add berries over one half if desired.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, until the center is set, the surface is lightly golden, and a toothpick comes out without wet batter. Oven and pan differences affect timing.
- Cool 3–5 minutes, cut into 12 squares, and serve with yogurt, fruit, or maple syrup.
Notes
Use a metal 9-by-13-inch pan for the specified time. Do not use a shallow rimmed half-sheet without adjusting batter depth and timing. Avoid overmixing; check the center rather than trusting color alone.
