Bake-along with Abi Balingit, Author of Mayumu

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar (additional), 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.

Make a well in the dry ingredients to add the wet ingredients later.

Add 1 and 3/4 cups of buttermilk into the well.

Lightly whisk 2 large eggs in a separate bowl before adding them to the mixture to ensure even distribution.

Combine 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then add to the mixture.

Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly before adding it to the batter to avoid cooking the eggs.

Add the zest of 1 lime to the batter for flavor.

Mix all the ingredients together gently until combined.
