Ok forgot to mention the above is for 1 cup regular flour .... I cup regular flour 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt equals 1 cup self rising flour using self rising four for everything like breading chicken and fish and adding to gravies etc is not healthy all the extra baking powder and salt you do not even realize( plus of course you then season ).. you are putting in can raise blood pressure & cause other problems over time Use plain flour then add your baking powder and salt when needed . Moderation is key

Great post, grannyblu. I have a big problem with fluid retention, so I don't want to add any more to my system than is necessary.

Wow MsBarneybutt, you don't get out in public much do ya? Yes, rluv4dogs4, I always use more peanut butter than the recipe calls for because I love the taste. It works for me.

Make it into "self-rising flour" which I am sure can be found anywhere on the web. Just Google "flour into self rising flour," & you should have multiple hits. It's easy as Hell, just as finding any nutritional value of anything else. I'm not trying to be ugly. It's just that some of you people post some of the most asinine questions when all one has to do is search the web. All kinds of answers, some right, most WRONG, are out there floating around on the world wide web. Good luck, all! ! ! Just some sense, people. It may be difficult for some of you, but just engage brain & move forward. It's not really THAT hard. - cllM

msbarneybutt you're pretty hateful aren't you? some people don't bake a lot and wouldn't know that you can make it into self-rising flour. they're just looking for some help from other bakers who hopefully won't make them feel stupid for asking a question.

I find it amusing that you berate the questioner for not searching the web, then add that most of the answers to be found are WRONG! And you question our sense?

What do we use when we do not have "self Rising Flour"?

Self rising flour 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt They use self rising flour in the South but not much in rest of the country. I like to control my own amounts of salt in my recipes there are also subs for self rising flour calling for1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt Either ways will work I opt for the lesser amount it is healthier
