What Is The Difference Between Regular Flour And Self-Rising Flour?
The distinction between all-purpose and self-rising flours hinges on their baking behavior. Self-rising flour includes a built-in leavening agent, typically baking powder, facilitating rising without additional ingredients.
How Do You Change Plain Flour To Self-Raising Flour?
To convert plain flour to self-raising flour, simply add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for every 150g of plain flour. Ensure even distribution by sifting both ingredients together into a bowl or whisking them thoroughly.
What Can You Use If You Don’t Have A Self-Rising Flour?
For every cup of self-rising flour needed, use one cup of all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. This blend will mimic the leavening and texture properties of self-rising flour in your baking recipes.
