Homestead Cooking

Self-rising cornmeal alternatives for homestead cooking include plain cornmeal combined with baking powder and salt, homemade cornmeal-flour blends, and freshly milled corn adjusted for grind and moisture. For each cup of self-rising cornmeal, a dependable starting substitute is 1 cup plain cornmeal plus 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon fine salt.
