Are you absolutely certain you don't have self rising flour? I would taste it to see if someone it was mis-packaged? Just a thought

I think using self-rising flour would have been the least of my problems. I did eveything else wrong!
I used expired baking powder (2006), expired baking soda (2010) and instead of 1/2 tsps. used a new measuring spoon that was for 1/2 TBSP. And I started this whole thing at 2 a.m., way too late to start baking!
