- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper on all sides. Set aside.

- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder, and fold together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake until the edges are set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool.
