Cookbook:Self-rising Flour

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Flour

Self-rising flour (sometimes called self-raising flour) is all-purpose flour that has a leavening agent such as baking soda or baking powder already blended in. Self-rising flour is not typically used by professional bakers, but it can be useful in the home and is often sold in supermarkets.

To make self-rising flour follow the recipe below.

Ingredients

Yields 1 cup

• 220 g (1 cup or 8 oz) flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

Procedure

1. Mix to combine.
2. Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry environment.

Notes

• If you are substituting self-rising flour for all-purpose flour in a recipe, be sure to reduce the salt in the recipe since the self-rising blend already contains it.
