How much baking soda to flour?

Answer 1

There is not a standard amount - it varies according to what you are cooking. If you wish to turn plain flour into self-raising, you need baking powder (which is a 1:3 ratio of bicarbonate of soda to cream of tartar). You need one teaspoon of baking powder to a cup of plain flour to create self-raising flour.

Answer 2

The standard ratio of baking powder to plain flour is: 1 cup plain flour ,1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt So to convert this amount for 2 1/4 cups flour, it would be: 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2/3 teaspoon salt Just keep in mind, this is baking powder, not baking soda.

Answer 3

That depends on what you are cooking - there is not a standard amount of bicarb to add to twelve ounces of flour. If you are trying to get plain flour to become self raising flour, you need baking powder (which is a 1:3 ratio of bicarbonate of soda to cream of tartar, so you can make baking powder then add it to the plain flour). To convert plain flour to self raising, add 1 tsp of baking powder per 1 cup of flour.

Answer 4

about 1/2 teaspoon
