Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly with a spoon or spatula, until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
If you’re feeling adventurous, add in your favorite extras—try a teaspoon of garlic powder, a handful of chopped herbs, some grated cheese, or a sprinkle of seeds.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter for extra flavor.
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto the hot surface, shaping into rounds about one inch thick. Press gently to flatten if needed.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top. Flip with a spatula and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until both sides are lightly browned and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the skillet, cool for one minute, and enjoy warm with your favorite toppings or dips.
