So Thanksgiving feast prep is underway in the world's tiniest apartment. In today's adventures of the cooking kind, I discovered I had purchased plain flour instead of self-rising.

What do I add in what proportion for what amount of flour to make this a self-rising equiv?

I'm not baking bread with it, fortunately have those mad skills in check. I just need self-rising flour and don't wish to waste the plain.

I defer to your culinary expertise.

TIA and sign me,

I'm not him lol, but here you go:

One cup self-rising flour equals:
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, plus
1/8 teaspoons salt

Or another:

1 cup (140 grams) similar grade (all purpose) flour
plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
plus 1/4 teaspoon salt

Personally, I'd probably go with the second one.

Hey, no worries. I got great help for the flour. The brownies turned out great.

I've decided to entertain more as I enjoy it and see it as a way to thank those who so often do so much for me. While I won't be hosting anyone tomorrow, I'm taking a number of dishes to meet up with family and friends.

As I do more and more cooking that may mean more questions.

It's all good.
