Notes

  • Measure your flour correctly: Use a spoon to scoop the flour out into the cup, then level it with a knife. This ensures that you don’t add too much flour.
  • Don’t overmix: Beat well when beating the butter and sugar. And beat well when adding the eggs. But don’t overbeat when adding the flour. Mix until combined.
