Self-raising flour is a convenient baking ingredient that contains all-purpose or plain flour mixed with a leavening agent, usually baking powder. It’s widely used in recipes for cakes, muffins, scones, and pancakes. Known as self-rising flour in the United States, this flour helps baked goods rise without the need to add extra baking powder or soda.

Related to Self Raising Flour

Plain Flour

Sift the leavener through the flour before using so it disperses evenly. Best in cakes, scones, and quick breads where an even rise matters. See our Plain Flour converter.

Cake Flour

Cake flour is softer and lower in protein than self-raising flour (around 7 to 9% vs 10 to 12%) and lighter per cup (130 g vs 140 g). It gives a tender crumb but carries no leavener, so add your own baking powder when swapping it in. See our Cake Flour converter.

Bread Flour

Bread flour is higher in protein than self-raising flour (around 12 to 14% vs 10 to 12%) and heavier per cup (150 g vs 140 g), with no built-in leavener. Use it for chew in yeasted bakes, self-raising flour for an even rise in cakes and scones. See our Bread Flour converter.

Oat Flour

Oat flour brings neither gluten nor a raising agent, so a self-raising recipe swapped straight to oat flour loses both its structure and its lift. Add baking powder back and expect a flatter, denser result; part oat flour and part self-raising flour holds up better in scones than oat flour alone. See our Oat Flour converter.
