2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

* For slight sweetness, add 1/4 cup sugar. For richness, use cream instead of milk You ca also add one egg (decrease milk to 1/2 cup) or increase the amount of butter for richer texture. For variation, you may add raisins, dried currants, nuts, orange or lemon zest, berries, banana, cheese, herbs, spices molasses and even chocolate chips.
