"I am floored by how awesome this recipe is," raves FaithsFood. "I had to make it a few times to get my process figured out — but this has quickly become a staple at my house. I use regular flour plus the salt/baking powder ratios suggested at the bottom to make self-rising flour. I also used regular greek yogurt (not non-fat) and the flavor was richer."

"Tender and flavorful, awesome recipe," according to Dori Baron Cron. "If you want to add a little more flavor just put in a good pinch of garlic salt and a couple of pinches of rosemary. Great as it is, though!"

"I added one clove of pressed garlic and greased the pan with ghee," says bigblackcat1958. "Really easy, really fast, really good!"
