Mix together the corn meal, flour, baking powder and salt.

Self-Rising Cornmeal

FIRST: What is Self-Rising Corn Meal? Self-rising Corn meal has leavening and salt, and is enriched with B vitamins. It does not contain flour. Self-rising cornmeal and self-rising cornmeal mix is not available in my part of the country so had to go online to find out how to make my own. There must be others out there with the same problem so decided to post. Information comes from Aunt Jemima's website!

1 tablespoon baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
3⁄4 cup cornmeal, PLUS
3 tablespoons cornmeal
