Baking powder - add two teaspoons of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. In America they call "plain flower" all "purpose flour", in Australia where I am from we have 2 main types Plain & self raising. :)

You can make your own baking powder at home by mixing together 1 part baking soda, 2 parts cream of tartar, and 1 part cornstarch. This homemade baking powder can be used as a substitute for store-bought baking powder in recipes.
