When baking a sweet potato pie you should use flour to thicken the potato pulp if is too liquid, but no more than 1 level tablespoon for two cups of prepared sweetened pulp. If you have used eggs in your recipe there really is not reason to ever use baking powder until you're putting it in the recipe for the pie crust. One 9-inch pie crust should hold approximately 2 - 2 1/2 cups of potato pulp.

You can replace the eggs with a "flax egg" which is just flax meal and water, instructions for this are on most packages of flax meal you could buy. There are gluten free alternatives (I'm guessing that's your concern) to making pie crust besides using wheat flour or you can make it with no crust at all.

No. Baking powder doen't work anything like flour when it comes to gravy. You might be able to use other thickeners but if you're making gravy by making a roux and then adding liquid, you pretty much have to use flour.


Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?

If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.

Hmmm. One can not substitute flour with baking powder. One can however substitute selfraising flour with ordinary flour and a few teaspoons of baking powder. (My best guess would be approx 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 150-200 grams of flour.)


Can you use wholemeal flour instead of rye flour?

If you add baking powder so what you are making will rise. If you look through most recipes, most use 1 teaspoon of baking powder for each cup of flour. By using whole wheat flour, the finished product will be heavier with a coarser texture. If you are using all whole wheat flour with no white flour, I would use 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour. A lot of whole wheat recipes will use half whole wheat, half white.

What type of flour is used making persimmon pudding if the recipe does not call for baking powder but just flour soda and salt Is it self rising or plain flour?

Self-rising flour consists of flour, baking powder, and salt. So the flour here is ordinary flour to which you add bicarbonate of soda and salt. Baking powder is baking soda, an acid salt, and cornstarch (the effect is to create carbon dioxide when it is placed in a solution). To make self-rising flour, take one cup of flour and add one and a half (1 1/2) teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
