– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

6. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are totally fine.
