Olive oil is heart-healthy and adds flavor.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water is a cost-effective substitute.

baking powder

🥗Healthier: baking soda + vinegar

💰Cheaper: none

Baking soda with vinegar can be a substitute if baking powder is unavailable.

In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cups of self-raising flour.

Add 3 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.

Cut 80 g of butter into small cubes and rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Pour in 3/4 cup of water and mix with a round-edged knife until the dough starts to come together, adding more water if needed.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes until smooth.

Shape the dough into a disc and transfer it onto a baking tray.

Make score marks on the top of the dough with a sharp knife, without cutting all the way through.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes or until cooked through.
