Ayla’s Recipe Tip:
You can substitute self-rising flour and skip the baking powder and salt to make this a 2-ingredient recipe. I don’t tend to keep self-rising flour on hand, but I always have all-purpose flour, so I default to that for this recipe. But if you find yourself making this recipe often, you can keep self-rising flour around to simplify this recipe even more.
