FAQs
If you only have self-rising flour omit the baking powder and use the same flour measurement.
I have had readers report that they made this with coconut oil and it turned out good. I do not recommend using olive oil as it would affect the flavor.
Yes, these freeze well. I recommend freezing on a baking sheet then transferring to a freezer-safe container (affiliate link).
