Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the flour before measuring. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can increase the sugar slightly. Substitute half of the butter with vegetable oil for a different texture. Adding a splash of vanilla extract will enhance the flavor. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better incorporation into the batter.
