Notes
Don’t overmix the batter – stir just until combined to keep the bars tender instead of tough.
Line the pan with parchment paper – this makes it easy to lift the bars out in one piece for cleaner slicing.
Let them cool completely before cutting – the bars firm up as they cool, so slicing too early can make them crumbly.
