Okay, cooks.

I'm wanting to make some punkin bread. The recipe calls for baking powder and all that, but I don't have any. What I do have is self rising flour. Will this work?

do you have baking soda, cream of tartar, buttermilk, yogurt or molasses?

BAKING POWDER – There are three ways you can substitute for baking powder, depending on the recipe:
* 1 teaspoon baking powder = 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar;
* 1 teaspoon baking powder = 1/2 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt;
* 1 teaspoon baking powder also = 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/3 cup molasses. When using the substitutions that include liquid, reduce other liquid in recipe accordingly.


and you can make your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to regular milk, and letting it sit for 10 minutes =)

Yes, self-rising flour *should* work.

And yeah, self-rising flour (minus any salt called for in the recipe) should just work.
