To make self-raising flour at home, mix plain or all-purpose flour with baking powder and optionally a bit of salt. A common ratio is:
- 100g (about 1 cup) plain flour
- 1 to 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- About 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, but commonly added)
Whisk or sift these ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution. This mixture can be used as a direct substitute for store-bought self-raising flour in recipes.
For example, a typical recipe is:
- 150g plain flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
Combine and mix well. This makes flour that will help baked goods to rise without needing extra leavening agents.
