How much baking powder to convert plain flour into SR?

Hi

I only buy plain flour, not SR flour, so that I get through it quicker and avoid getting flour bugs!

Can anyone remind me of a general rule of thumb as to how much baking powder I need to add to plain flour when wanting the flour to be SR?

Apart from 1 very old cook book, all new recipes always refer to SR flour!

Many thanks

Donna

    It's 2 level tsps to every 8 oz of plain flour
