Where there is an * beside the name, this means that
Barley flour worked well instead of wheat flour - hence making
it wheat free.
This seems to be the case with most of the recipes listed,
indeed each one I have tried has worked o.k.
The only thing which didn't work so well was bread, I am still
trying to find a good way to produce this item.
It might be worth trying any of your favourite recipies out
using barley flour instead of wheat flour.
Barley flour is only available as Plain flour.
To make Barley flour self raising, mix the following together :
Alternatively you can make up some Baking powder using
a ratio of 2:1 of cream of tartar : Bicarb of soda, store
in an airtight container and use as follows :
for every 8oz flour add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder to
make self raising (for 4oz use 3/4 teaspoon, etc.).
Also, if you were planning to use small amounts
of self raising flour (2 or 3 oz say) it might be easier to
make up a 1lb of self raising barley flour using proportions above.
This would then save having to work out how much baking powder
was needed for 3oz of flour etc.
