    Just wanted to say thank you.
    Hi all of you that replied to my senior moment. The poorly dog has cheered up after having some Liver cake, well a couple of bits, and the OH has been eating a piece of Fruit cake and not whinged too much about the Vet Bill, he actually said "munching on his bit of cake "" well it could have been worse.. i don't know whether he meant my cooking or the money side of things, anyway thanks to you lot all 3 of us are happyish.
    3 cheers for Money Saving Old Style.:T :T :T

    That's what I do now - you don't get 'self raising' flour here in NZ do you?! I can't believe how easy it is - seems silly now to have been buying seperate flour all those years in the UK! I LOVE the big sacks of flour you get here too!

    Maybe you CAN find it here then? I haven't exactly scoured NZ for it, not since finding out about the 'one cup flour, 1 t/s baking powder' thing :D

    We're learning to love NZ, but we're still just as skint as we always where :rotfl: (food etc. is more expensive here than in the UK).

    I'm sure you would have seen it if it was. It's usually right next to the plain flour. ;) I usually buy both as it's the same price so less mucking around. In summer you might be wise to buy in the smaller bags like 2kg and put your flour in the freezer away from the weevils & moths. :rolleyes:

    The cost of living is a lot higher than Oz and wages are a bit lower but I think the majority everywhere does it tough. The houses here are probably more exp. So it all evens out. I think NZ also is a bit cooler in summer. Lucky you. :p DH has just woken up (he's doing nite shift this week) so I better get lunch. Bye for now.

    Hi folks, Am trying to bake some fairy cakes with the kiddies but I only have Plain Flour. Can I add baking powder to make it into self-raising? And if so, how much?
    Thanks

    "To make self-raising flour, add 1tsp of baking power to 200g / 8oz plain flour."

    Hi, the rate is 3 tsp per 8oz flour for sponge cakes - there is a handy table on the back of my baking powder tub - Supercook
