HOW TO MAKE SELF-RISING FLOUR AT HOME
Self-rising flour is a three-in-one ingredient that you’ll sometimes find in recipes for scones muffins or biscuits like these classic Southern Buttermilk Biscuits. If you don’t have any don’t worry or run to the store! If you’re a baking enthusiast chances are you have everything you need to make your own self-rising flour.
Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with a leavening agent (baking powder) and spices (salt) already added. The baking powder helps the batter or dough expand into a nice muffin or biscuit while the salt spices the flour and the final baked goods.
This type of flour is used in all types of baked goods but you’ll find it most often in the ingredients of biscuits scones and muffins. Some quick breads like beer bread use self-raising flour like this Guinness Bread with Molasses. It’s also used in some cake recipes. It’s actually a handy shortcut!
