Does anyone have this problem! When I use Self raising flour, the scones or cakes have a bitter taste,especially when the scones are cold.Prob the baking powder, I have thought of using plain flour and baking powder but feel as though the same thing will happen.

I use S/r flour all the time and have never noticed any prob. Anyone know where you can by S/R wholemeal flour! it is often in recipes but I have yet to see if anywhere here.

For scones, it's best to use cream of tartar and baking soda to avoid the metallic aftertaste of the baking powde.r
For each cup of standard flour, add 1 tsp cream of tartar and 1/2 tsp baking soda instead of bp.
