WHERE DO YOU FIND SELF-RAISING CORNMEAL??? CAN'T FIND IT IN MY AREA FOR YEARS!

Hello there! The Test Kitchen finds its self-rising cornmeal in Walmart, but if you are having trouble finding it, you can use regular cornmeal and add 1 tsp of baking powder for every 1 cup of cornmeal. Hope this was helpful!
