Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the bars are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Once the bars are done baking, allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm bars, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed.
Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into 12 equal pieces and serving. Enjoy!
