The flour here isn't critical, it can be just about any variety of flour, we like the texture and flavor we get from mixing at least two alternative grains, but if other flours are used, reserve about half of the milk and add gradually until the batter texture looks right.
Soda and citric acid crystals, or soda and cream of tarter, make home-made baking powder which contains no corn starch (or aluminum). Using citric acid crystals, instead of cream of tartar, is far more cost effective. For example,
sfherb.com sells citric acid crystals for half the price of cream of tartar.
Combine dry ingredients, mix thoroughly, add remaining ingredients and mix. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place iron skillet in oven for five minutes. Remove skillet from oven, coat with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Pour mix into skillet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. If it's done, a quick and gentle finger tap to the top of the loaf won't leave a dent.
