Do you have any baking powder?

You need baking powder or cream of tartar + bicarb. Otherwise no.

For the next time, just Google how to make self-raising flour, it's very simple and you don't need to buy a separate bag of self-raising flour.

if you have baking powder it’s 1.5 teaspoons to one cup of flour.

Add baking powder or bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar plus pinch of salt

Thanks for replies
I found some bicarbonate of soda
and added a tiny bit of vinegar too
wasn’t the best but it was ok

thank you

It would have been a better idea to add some vinegar to the milk, creating buttermilk, and then the bicarbonate would have reacted to that.

That’s a shame as I’ve got milk
