You can normally subsitute olive oil for most recipes which require butter. For some heart healthy recipes, the American Heart Association has an online menu: http://www.deliciousdecisions.org/cb/rec.html
Shortbread, shortcrust pastry, flaky pastry, puff pastry, phyllo pastry, strudel pastry, some biscuit recipes (but you'll probably require baking soda), bread and bread-based items (e.g Pizza), scones (but you'll need baking powder).
We can bake fries with out flour and chicken too.
Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/4 tsp salt for each cup of rice flour. Rice flour can be substituted 1:1 for cake or pastry flour in recipes.
When you say plain flour, I think you mean all-purpose flour. The only thing in all-purpose flour is ground wheat. Self-rising flour has salt and baking powder in it. Most recipes call for using all-purpose flour.
I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose flour.
Self-rising flour has baking soda, baking powder and salt added in. All-purpose flour does not have these ingredients, so you have to mix them in if the recipe calls for them. For recipes that call for all-purpose flour, and you are using self-rising flour, you can leave these ingredients out.
yes, Bisquik is a brand name self rising flour, with shortening added. If you substitute it using self rising flour add 1 tablespoon butter or oil for every cup of flour. Sounds like a lot of fat to me but that is the recommendation.
Peanut Butter Cookie recipes using white flour can be used substituting the whole wheat flour for the white flour. They may have a different texture or consistency.
Yes you can, but it results are different.
yes 100g!
When using plain (regular) flour and the recipe calls for self-raising flour you must add a good teaspoon of baking powder to the flour. That will turn plain flour into self-raising flour.
Try just greasing the baking sheet without using flour on the pan. All the recipes I have seen just say greased baking pan no added flour.
Use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, and you can leave out the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
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.
