Context: baking powder and 1/2 tsp . salt for every cup of flour . Just measure the baking powder and the salt in the bottom of the measuring cup , and spoon flour over it until you get one cup . I served this with homemade apricot jam and bacon . I had butter on the table too , but the hoe cake was so good on its own ( because of all the shortening and oil ) that the butter was n't necessary .

Question: Why was the butter not necessary ?
Options:
0. Because the dish was served with homemade apricot jam and bacon
1. Because the recipe includes baking powder
2. Because the hoe cake was so good on its own
3. Because there is 1/2 tsp salt for every cup of flower
