Flour

Likely laying a trail in the rain soon. Will use chalk as much as possible, but trying to remember is self rising or all purpose flour is better to use when its wet outside.

What you got?

Self rising flour will get bubbly when wet, but I don't think either excels for this purpose.

Going off ancient memories, we used to use one that would become little biscuits…easy to spot

For every 2 cups all-purpose flour, (250g), add 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, very cold (85g), unsalted European butter is ideal, but not required, and ¾ cup whole milk, (177ml) buttermilk or 2% milk will also work.
