Ian, hope they do join, new food and recipes along with different ways to do things is always fun. I like trying new ways to cook. I do make some of those (lets not do that again) but its always fun to try.
As you know I control nothing on this site, lets just hope we can remember we are all different. But what ever we cook doesn't make it right or wrong, just different.

Just for grins, I made a mistake once. I thought I was wrong but wasn't. CF:)

As a heart patient I don't go near self-rising flour. Didn't have that much fun with congestive heart failure the first time. However, it's easy enough to adapt around it with All Purpose flour and featherweight baking powder. BTW nice to see people on this forum again. Thanks for directing me back to it CF.

Jp do really hope some more folk Will join in. What is featherweight baking powder? It can be a fun place. CF:)

Hi, jp.....we're giving it another go. I don't think I've heard of featherweight baking powder. I just use the regular stuff. I do not use self rising flour.

The salt in most baking comes from the baking powder. Self rising is nothing more then flour with the baking powder already in there, plus more salt. Featherweight baking powder is distributed my "Healthy Heart" market and has no sodium at all. So if you're a heart patient get some. If you're not don't worry about it.
