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.
