01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 2 large eggs
06 - 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
07 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

13 - 2 tablespoons dill pickle slices (optional, for garnish)
# How to make it:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish thoroughly to avoid sticking.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, buttermilk, and melted butter until homogenous.
04 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just blended; avoid overmixing.
05 - Fold in chopped dill pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, dill, and sliced green onions evenly.
06 - Spread batter evenly in the baking dish and smooth the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or extra cheddar over the top.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 28 to 32 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
08 - Allow to cool slightly. Cut into squares. Top with dill pickle slices and extra dill, if desired. Serve warm.
