- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes
For a healthier option, substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour. Fresh elderberries have a more vibrant flavor, but dried ones work just as well.
