Recipe for Self Rising Flour
Emergency Substitutions from Under the Arbor Cookbook
My friend, whose son and is serving with his family as a missionary in a remote area, requested a recipe for self rising flour. Self rising flour is sometimes hard to find in other countries. I found the recipe in my Under the Arbor cookbook, along with some other helpful substitutions.
Visit the Under the Arbor campground here. A lovely place. I had the privilege of visiting this special campground some time in the 90's with my Mom, and my Mom's friend, who has a "tent" in this special place. It was indeed a special day! And not very far from Charlotte.
Click here to read about a special place. The families who participate in camp meetings at this Methodist campground have published a cookbook, and I found this "emergency substitution" list in the cookbook.
if you don't have/use
1 cup self rising flour/1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch/2 tablespoons flour or 2 tsp. quick-cooking tapioca
1 tsp. baking powder/1/4 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 cup powdered sugar/1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar/2 tablespoons molasses in 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour milk (buttermilk)/1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar plus milk to make one cup -- let stand five minutes
1 cup whole milk/use evaporated milk -- 1/2 cup evap. milk plus 1/2 cup water
3/4 cup cracker crumbs/1 cup bread crumbs
1 square (1 oz.) chocolate/3 or 4 tablespoons cocoa plus 1 tablespoon butter (or oil)
1 tablespoon fresh herbs/1 teaspoon dried herbs
1 small fresh onion/1 tablespoon instant minced onion, rehydrated
1 teaspoon dry mustard/1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 cup tomato juice/use 1/2 cup tomato sauce plus 1/2 cup water
1 cup catsup or chili sauce/use 1 cup tomato sauce plus 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons vinegar (for use in cooking)

Do you carry your god? Or does your God carry you?
To whom will you liken Me, that we should be alike?
They lavish gold out of the bag,
And with silver on the scales;
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move. Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble. Isaiah 46:5-6
Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry and will deliver you. Isaiah 46:4
Note from my study bible, The Nelson Study Bible, The pronoun they refers to the idol makers. They bear it: In contrast to the living God who carries and supports His people (see v. 4), idols have to be carried by those who worship them.
Our Lord spoke through the prophet Isaiah about idol worship. They hired goldsmiths to make a god, bowed down and worshiped, and bore their idols an their shoulders. They cried out to their gods, who could not hear or save them from their trouble.
Contrast to Psalm 34:6-7
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
Again, from my study bible notes, "Poor man refers to the needy as well as the humble, whom the Lord delights to deliver. The phrase the angel of the Lord and the name of God are often interchanged. With the sense of God surrounding or hovering over the believer in this manner, there is no need to fear -- even in the most desperate times."
I am so thankful that the Lord my God heard me, saved me out of all my troubles, and delivered me!

Wishing I was here
State park on the island of Maui, Hawaii. Photo taken inside a little cave at the black sand beach, along "the Road to Hana".
It's 3:54 a.m. in Hana, Hawaii, and the temperature is 68 degrees.

Declaring the end, Calling the generations
We serve a great and mighty God. Our God declared the end from the beginning:
For I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning. Isaiah 47:9
Our God called the generations from the beginning:
Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, am the first; and with the last I am He. Isaiah 41:4
Our God alone is wise:
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds, which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." . . . To God, our Saviour, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen. Jude 14-15, 25
In the words of Jesus,
And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:12
