When baking, using unsalted butter gives you control over saltiness, but feel free to substitute with margarine if necessary. For a dairy-free version, almond or soy milk can replace regular milk, and vegan butter can be used in place of dairy butter. Remember, some people may have allergies to gluten, so consider using gluten-free flour if needed.

- 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
