🥗Healthier: baking soda + vinegar

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Self-rising flour combines flour and leavening agents for convenience.

Mix the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles a thick pancake batter.

Add water gradually, adjusting the amount as needed.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add a little oil.

Pour the batter into the skillet and let it cook until the bottom is browned.

Flip the bread carefully; if it breaks, use another pan to sandwich it and flip it over.

Cook until both sides are browned and the texture is nice.
