Dip a wet finger in the soda and scrub spots on dishes. Works great on tea rings, baked on spots on glassware, etc. Best of all it doesn't scratch! |

I had the too-salty-to-eat problem one time with homemade biscuits I made at my mom's house. I discovered that she kept self-rising flour in her canister instead of the plain flour I kept in mine. After I used the self-rising flour, then added baking powder and salt the dog wouldn't even eat the biscuits! :-(

Check the expiration date on the container. Or......has someone been playing with the salt and sugar? When I was quite little I put salt in the sugar bowl and my uncle discovered it when he fixed his cup of coffee.

Read some where that baking powder is only good for 6 months. Don't know if this is your problem or not.

My late DH started all of us dating anything and everything we bought, especially in the food line. I just remembered that when we bought this microwave, I took lessons in using it!!! That is OLD, so it's now in the garage for our next Ewaste announcements.
Toss out all the stuff with a year ago's date, with the possible exception for whole black pepper, whole cloves and any other whole spices. Maybe check unopened cans/bottles for the correct odors, to see if they smell like what they're supposed to be. |
Never heard of Russian Coffee Cake, what is it?

And yes, they can become "old" ... and can prevent baked goods from rising in their normal manner. |
Check your flour bag. It sounds like you may have self rising flour. If not, I have no idea.
