Most of my recipes include either a gluten-free plain flour or bread flour, however, with the simple addition of baking powder, salt and a strong binder like xanthan gum or psyllium husk to my plain flour blend, it converts easily into a self-raising flour blend.

If you are a keen and frequent gluten-free baker, this blend is a welcome staple to have ready-made in your pantry and takes minutes to prepare.

Certain recipes specifically call for self-raising flour, here’s a simple recipe that works really well with my gluten-free scones, Dutch pepernoten cookies, pancakes, cupcakes, muffins, sponge cakes, chiffon cakes, quick bread and many more that need that extra lift and airy-texture. If you have my free e-book when you subscribed to my website, my gluten-free marble cake also uses this SRF blend.

Notes

Try to use the freshest baking powder available as this guarantees even better baking and rising results. Test your baking powder by adding a small amount of boiling water to it. If it bubbles strongly, it is fresh.
During hot weather or in tropical countries, this flour is best stored in the fridge.
