Self-Rising Flour

It must be told that I have room for 5 lbs. of unbleached white/bread flour, and the same amount of whole wheat flour, in my small pantry. Now I hear that for frying I should use either rice flour or self-rising flour.

Not wanting to buy self-rising flour I set about to make it myself. While this has not yet been tried by me, it is supposed to puff up a coating like on onion rings or chicken soaked in buttermilk, drained and dredged in it before frying.

The recipe I found calls for 3/4 cup AP flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. I believe that’s from food.com so thank you for sharing!

Tonight I wanted to make specially shaped burgers in pita pockets with tomatoes, avocado and cheese. I thought that thin slices of red onion would be nice on top. Instead my dear husband wanted to go out, so I’ll try it tomorrow. Happy Friday! Cheers, Dee
