3/4 teaspoon salt, optional 3 teaspoons baking powder pinch of ground nutmeg
1 cup whole milk 1 egg, beaten 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Coat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with additional vegetable oil, and place in preheated oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes (oil should start to smoke). Remove the skillet and pour in batter. Reduce oven heat to 400 degrees F. and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove bread from oven and brown under a broiler. Turn out onto an ovenproof plate and serve hot with melted butter.
