INSTRUCTIONS

  • UK: Add 2 tsp of baking powder to every 150g of plain flour.
    US: Add 2 tsp of baking powder to every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Whisk and sift the flour together until well combined.
  • Use in any recipe that calls for self-raising flour.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.

RECIPE NOTES:

Make it in Bulk:

If you use self-raising flour regularly, you can make a larger batch by whisking together 1.5kg plain flour and 20 teaspoons (6 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons) of baking powder.
Or, if you prefer to measure in cups, whisk together 10 cups all-purpose flour and 6 tablespoons of baking powder.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and use whenever a recipe calls for self-raising flour.
