- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Eggs
- Milk
- Vegetable oil

Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Divide batter and tint with food coloring if desired.
