In the same container where we have sifted it, add a pinch of salt, the baking powder and sugar, and also add some chopped fresh mint leaves and the skin of the grated lime, which we can do before squeezing, to take advantage of the same. We remove to mix all these dry ingredients.

In a different bowl we are going to pour the liquid mixture that we had formed, incorporate the egg, a splash of soft olive oil and beat well to mix everything. Then we incorporate the flour mixture and we incorporate it as best we can, but always adding it little by little and without stopping stirring, so that it mixes well and without forming lumps. When finished we will turn on the oven at 180ºC (356ºF) to preheat it while we finish.
