Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Grease the loaf pan (9×5) with softened butter or coat with flour cooking spray.
- In a medium size bowl: Mix the flour, salt & baking powder together. (I highly recommend sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy).
