Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons shortening
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup milk
- 2 pinches garlic salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2
Next, take a well-seasoned cast iron skillet and apply a generous amount of shortening to it. Place the skillet in the oven as it begins to heat up.
3
In a separate bowl, combine flour and milk, stirring until you achieve a thick yet still fluid consistency.
4
Remove the skillet from the oven and swiftly sprinkle a small amount of garlic salt over the bottom surface. Immediately pour the batter mixture into the skillet, followed by a light dusting of garlic salt on top.
5
Replace the skillet in the oven and continue baking until the cake has risen, and the top is a warm golden brown color. This should take approximately 20 minutes.
