Hi, everyone. I mostly hang out at KT here at THS, but I have a question that I think fits better over here.
I used to have a "recipe" for making your own self-rising flour. It used a 5 lb. bag of flour and told you how much baking powder and stuff to add to it.
I can't buy self-rising flour over here so I was wondering if anybody could help me find this recipe again. I would really appreciate it.

Lisa,
I don't have the exact recipe you are looking for. But, I quit buying self-rising flour years ago. Here's my substitute recipe. Use 1 Tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt per 2 cups of all purpose flour. It works just fine. I've made it in tripple batches. I don't do that anymore because it's just as easy to make it as I go.

Thanks, Terri.
I usually do that, too, but was wanting to make a batch up to use for cornbread and things like that so I don't have to pull so many ingredients out of the cabinet. I'm REALLY lazy! LOL
I am thinking the recipe was in one of the Make-A-Mix cookooks, but I can't find mine right now. I have to go look in a box.

| 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

Here's How: In a large mixing bowl, measure 6 cups of flour.
Add 3 tablespoons baking powder.

Thank you, Ann. That is exactly what I was looking for.
Since the flour over here is only sold in kilo bags, anyway, I would have to weigh out 5 lbs. on my scale anyway.
This is probably the recipe I was looking for. For some reason, I just thought it was for 5 lbs.
Thanks again.

| I am extremely particular about what flour I use Nothing but King Arthur. Anyway the local stores quit selling the self rising as there was not enough demand for it. I wrote to the King Arthur people and they sent me the info on making my own "Place 1 and 1/2 tsp Baking Powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Fluff up the King Arthur all purpose flour. Spoon gently into the measuring cup to bring it to one cup flour. Stir well with a fork and you will have one cup self rising flour" |
