NOTE: This is a fund raiser for a local animal rescue. The $2.50 is for the recipe only. It is offered on the honour system. I realize anyone anywhere can copy it. BUT. A LOT of effort went into providing what I consider the best. The donation goes to a really good cause and I hope you will consider donating. I explain why here:
I made numerous recipes to come up with this one...the one I consider the best. I have tested and have had others test....this is the best. Donation will go to Romina of Fuff Fuff Fuff Wild Bird Sanctuary ( see her Instagram here) . Romina has opened a sanctuary just outside Markdale for injured animals ( started with birds.... hopes to expand when she can afford, to all injured wild animals). Payment of the $2.50 is voluntary, but will REALLY help. Romina is struggling to pay for all this herself .For the cost of a cup of coffee you can help save an animal's life.
ALSO. If you are in the Markdale/Flesherton area I ask you to buy your baking supplies from me.... unlike items that can sit on the shelf for months, I always pick up fresh from my wholesalers... and fresh is important for optimum results. AND. You help me support various animal charities.

180 grams of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
