1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a 13×18 inch rimmed baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

2-Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt until well combined.

3-Combine wet and dry ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined; some lumps are okay, as they keep the texture tender.

4-Pour batter: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet for uniform baking.

5-Add toppings: Divide the pan into four sections and sprinkle desired toppings such as chocolate chips, blueberries, strawberries, or bananas over each section to add variety and fun flavors.

6-Bake: Bake for 15 to 17 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, checking for doneness with a toothpick.

7-Serve: Cut into 12 portions and serve immediately, optionally with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
