Instructions
- In a microwave-safe mug, thoroughly blend flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt using a fork until the dry mixture appears smooth and lump-free.

- Position the mug in the microwave and heat on high power for approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds, monitoring closely to prevent overflow or excessive cooking.
