In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, whisking continuously until smooth and well blended.
Step 7
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
