Instructions
 

  • Measure out 1/3 cup of high-heat oil and pour into a cast iron skillet or an oven safe skillet. Then, set aside

  • Once your oven has preheated, place your oven safe skillet(s) on the middle oven rack to preheat for about 4 minutes.

  • Now, add 3½ teaspoons of baking powder and mix all ingredients together until batter looks smooth and creamy.
