    Is it Plain Flour or SR Flour?
    I have some flour stored in an unnamed container. Is there some way to tell if it if SR Flour or Plain Flour apart from cooking with it?

    Only thing I can suggest is cooking a small amount or looking at the grains ones courser than the other but if the tubs aren't even colour coded you don't have a lot of choice to do anything other than cook with it I'm afraid.

    There are two ways to tell! One is to rub a bit between your fingers; the self-rising flour will feel a little gritty. The other way to tell is to taste it - the self-rising flour will be salty.
    Hope this helps!
