How does self raising flour work?
The difference between "Self Rising" flour and "Flour" is simply that self rising flour has leavening agents added to it during packaging.
The way it works is the same as flour after you add your leavening agent, such as baking powder, baking soda, etc. A reaction to temperature and other conditions, whether chemical or natural causes the leavening agent in the self rising flour to produce carbon dioxide, thus forming bubbles which makes the product rise by trapping the air inside as the product solidifies.

Ingredients
16 cups (1 gallon) water
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
Rind of 1 navel orange
3 sprigs rosemary
1 cup kosher salt
3 yellow onions, quartered
2 heads garlic, halved
1 (12-pound) turkey
2 lemons, quartered
10 sprigs thyme
10 sprigs sage
1 cup chopped potatoes
¼ cup olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Garlic powder
Equipment: Plate Setter, hickory chips, V-Rack, 9 by 13-inch Drip Pan lined with aluminum foil, instant read thermometer
Preheat the EGG to 350ºF / 177ºC without the Plate Setter.
Pour the water into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, orange rind, rosemary, salt, two-thirds of the quartered onions, and 1 halved garlic head. Mix until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove the giblets from inside the turkey and reserve for another use. Rinse the turkey well. Place the turkey in a 2½ gallon resealable plastic bag or any container that is large enough to hold the turkey and the liquid. Pour the brine over the turkey, making sure it's completely covered. Refrigerate for 12 hours, turning occasionally.
Soak 4 cups of hickory chips in water in a medium bowl for 1 hour.
Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse well to remove the brining liquid, and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brining liquid and solids. Stuff the turkey with the lemon quarters, the remaining halved garlic head and onion, thyme, sage, and potatoes. Brush the turkey with olive oil and season with pepper and garlic powder.
Scatter 1 cup of the hickory chips over the hot coals and, using barbecue mitts, place the Plate Setter, legs up, in the EGG. Place the turkey on the V-Rack and put the V-Rack in the Drip Pan. Place the Drip Pan on the Plate Setter and close the lid of the EGG. Cook for 2½ hours, adding more chips every 30 minutes. If the turkey starts to brown too quickly, carefully tent the turkey with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until the instant read thermometer registers 165ºF / 74ºC.
Remove the turkey from the EGG and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes. Carve and serve immediately. Serves 8

Butter contains some water, so for 1/2 C oil, you'll want 2/3 C butter and reduce the liquid content of the recipe by a couple of tablespoons. That's if you want to be exact--you can get away with a 1:1 substitution for most recipes, it just won't be as perfect.

Start with a clean square shaped paper. Fold paper in half so it looks like a triangle. Starting from left to right label the corners A, B, and C Fold corner C so that the top edge is parallel with the base of the triangle (you should see three smaller triangles) Then starting from the left to the right label the corners D, E, and F. Now fold corner A so it touches corner F. (just like step 4) Now you should have two flaps on top. Fold the first flap on top down towards the base of the original triangle. Flip cup over so the E is face down, and fold the other flap down. Pick up your cup and pinch the edges together. you should now see the inside of the cup. Fill your cup with water. If it leaks start at step one.
