Plain flour and baking powder?

[Carrie7469]

Hello. Does anybody know if I can use plain flour and baking powder instead of self raising flour?

If so, do you have any idea of the quantities? Many thanks.

1tsp of baking powder per 100g of plain flour. (Roughly - if my recipe called for 360g of flour for example, I would just chuck in 4tsp of baking powder)

I don’t buy self raising flour - stopped buying it when we lived in the US because the SR flour there also contains salt. When we returned to this side of the Atlantic I just stuck with plain flour and baking powder

I always used both baking powder and baking soda with plain flour.

It also helps to find a recipe which doesn't have SR flour in it.

Thry don't have SR flour in austria and I tried adapting with extra baking powder but found I could taste it.

Now I just look for recipes online which use plain flour and they taste much better

Thank you. I've got a recipe I want to use which calls for self raising, so I'm going to go with @LightACandleHoney suggestion
