Fairy cakes with plain flour - possible???

[gerbo]

Help! I promised my toddler we'd cook fairy cakes after her nap (she's asleep now) but just realised I have only plain flour - no self-raising! Is it possible to cook them with plain flour???

Could I add bicarb or baking powder to compensate?

Thanks!

Yes - for say 200g of plain flour I'd use a good teaspoonful of baking powder, and that would work fine.

Yes, just add baking power. Can't remember the exact proportions to "make" SR flour, but it should say on the taking power tin. Or you could probably google it.

Enjoy the cakes!
