Serve warm, not hot.
Swaps and Variations
- No self-raising flour to hand? The common home substitute is the same weight of plain flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every 150 g, sifted together well; the rise may not be identical to a bought self-raising flour.
Keeping What's Left
Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in a warm oven.
