How do you convert plain cornmeal to self rising cornmeal?

Answer 1

Plain cornmeal can be converted to self rising cornmeal by adding an agent such as yeast or more commonly baking powder. These additives allow more air within the mixture producing a lighter product.

Answer 2

• Here are a few versions of making SR Flour: • 500 gm. plain flour + 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder + a pinch of salt • 500 gm. plain flour + 20 ml. cream of tartar + 10 ml. bicarbonate of soda • 1 cup plain flour + 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder + 1/4 tsp. salt • 225 gm. plain flour + 2 level tsp. baking powder • 450 gm. or 16 oz. plain flour + 1 oz./25 gm. baking powder • 1 cup plain flour + 1 1/4 tsp. of baking powder • To make baking powder • Place 3 tsp. bicarbonate of soda and 4 tsp. cream of tartar in a jar and shake them well together. Store in a cool place.

Instructions 1. Whichever combination you use, sift all the ingredients together 3-4 times, to make an even mix. Store in an airtight container. Notes • The quantities above are only a rough guide. The amount of baking powder can vary according to a recipe and what else you have added to it. For example, 2 level tsp. baking powder is generally enough when using 250 gm. flour and 120 gm. fat. But if you increase the amount of fat and also add eggs, which all help to make it rise, you only need 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder. So, follow the recipe closely.
