Thaw spinach,squeeze out as much moisture as possible; set aside in a colander. Spinach will be compressed from squeezing dry. Make certain to loosen up the clumps of spinach before incorporating into the egg batter. In a large bowl; combine flour, salt, and baking powder. In a seperate medium sized bowl; beat eggs, milk, and spices. Gradually, add the beaten egg mixture into the dry ingredients stirring the whole time, getting most of any flour lumps. (mixture will remain sort of lumpy) Add spinach mix in just until combined. ( do not over beat) Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool in pan; cut into squares.
