Self-Raising Flour
Recipe Summary
Quick three-ingredient homemade self-raising flour blend for cakes, biscuits, and quick breads. Yields 1 cup (~130 g).
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 1 cup (~125-130 g) | Standard white flour |
| Baking powder | 1 tsp (~4-5 g) | Fresh leavening agent |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp (~3 g) | Fine table salt |
Instructions
-
Measure and Sift
Set a fine-mesh sieve over a clean mixing bowl. Add the all-purpose flour (1 cup), baking powder (1 tsp), and fine salt (1/2 tsp).
-
Sift and Whisk
Sift all three ingredients into the bowl. Whisk thoroughly with a wire whisk for 30 seconds to distribute the leavening evenly throughout the flour.
-
Use or Store
Use immediately in place of store-bought self-raising flour, or store in a sealed airtight jar in a cool, dry pantry for up to 3 months.
Useful Notes
Even Leavening
Whisking or sifting thoroughly is essential so baked goods rise evenly without pockets of concentrated baking powder.\n
