I have a recipe that calls for self raising flour, however I only have plain flour. What do I need to add to it to make it self raising? TIA:)

baking powder, babyluthi - opinions vary as to how much with some saying 1 tsp baking powder to 1 cup flour, while others say 1½ tsp baking powder and others 2 tsp baking powder. It's your choice as to how much you use but if you're making scones then definitely use the 2 tsp baking powder to 1 cup flour. :-))

oh. . just discovered that if you dont have baking powder you can use cream of tartar and baking soda. . two parts tartar to one part soda!

I've got a question about this. I want to make a chocolate crunch slice (page 12 of the biscuits & slices thread) and as I don't have SR flour in the house, want to adjust. As the recipe specifies 1t bp already, does that mean I want to add a pinch of salt & an extra 1. 5t bp? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for all the recipes, husband will soon be sick of my new (old) hobby ;) (he should be grateful that at least I'm not out buying yet more cookbooks) Cheers, Michelle
