self-rising flour???
Comments (5)You could weigh what six cups of flour weighs to find out how many cups in a 5 pound bag and then adjust this recipe accordingly. (ie, if 6 cups weighed 1 pound then according to the following recipe you would add 15 Tablespoons of baking powder and 5 Tablespoons of salt to a 5 pound bag of flour.) Ann. How to Make Self-Rising Flour From your Desserts/Baking Guide Why buy self-rising flour when you can make your own? Difficulty Level: Easy Time Required: 15 minutes Here's How: In a large mixing bowl, measure 6 cups of flour. Add 3 tablespoons baking powder. Add 1 tablespoon salt.

Comments (6)Plain flour and self raising flour are not interchangeable in most recipes. Plain flour has no leavening (rising), whereas self-raising does. Of course, if the SR flour is a bit old, you might find that the leavening has 'died off', and you might be able to get away with using it. Mind you, I've used the wrong flour my mistake more than once. If you're making biscuits (cookies) which call for plain flour, and you use SR, they might rise more than you want and be softer in texture instead of crisp - but maybe you won't mind that! SR flour is great for things like cakes, scones, muffins, pancakes. It is far more commonly used here in Australia than in America, so I've learned....See Morelucillle
