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.
