Self Raising Flour

Sieve twice
2 kg flour,
50 grams of cream of tartar
25 grams of baking soda

What difference does the cream of tartar make pickles!Oh - just noticed it's baking soda, not powder, as well.Excuse my ignorance, but I always thought self raising flour was just flour and baking powder - more than happy to be educated here!=)

Just a preference, makes up 2 kg. I often use cream of tartar and baking soda , in place of baking powder.

cream of tartar gives volume and is used as a stabiliser. I use it in my pikelets which makes them light and they rise really well. I sometimes also use a pinch in mashed potato, it makes it really light and fluffy.
