Simple baking question

shaz003, Jan 28, 9:44pm
A recipe im using says to use self-raising flour. i only have high grade flour. Should i put in baking powder (!) to help it rise!
Its chocolate self saucing pudding by the way

yes put in baking powder, 1 tsp to each cup of flour used

Apparently (according to Jo Seagar).the equivalent of self-raising flour is actually 2 tsps of baking powder to 1 cup of flour (not the 1 tsp).

I use 2tsp per cup of flour. i remember Alison Holts recommending it many years ago and its stuck.

Edmonds specify a heaped teaspoon to a cup of flour, personally I use one level.

Depends what you are making re the BP ratio. for scones or muffins I would go 2 tsps per cup. maybe less in a cake, loaf or biscuits. e.g 1.1/2tsps cakes 1 tsp biccies.
Also depending upon whether the recipe has baking soda in it.

edited.sorry just read what you are making.recommend 1.1/2 tsps for that.
