  1. Hi Menaka.
    I still haven't had a chance to bake this but I will soon. Just a quick question: if I use plain flour how much of baking powder should I add?
    Thank you and Happy New Year!

    1. Hi Lee,
      To convert plain flour into self-raising flour, add two teaspoons of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. Adding one teaspoon of cream of tartar and half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one cup of plain flour gives the same result.

  3. What do you think would happen if I used more sour cream (watered down to the consistency of milk) instead of milk? Milk - sour cream - so similar, right?
