Self-rising Flour

Recommended Posts

i've got this recipe book and sometimes it calls for "flour," sometimes for "self-rising flour." what the hell is the difference?? for the "flour" i just use an all-purpose which works fine, but will an all-purpose suffice, when the recipe calls for self-rising flour, or is there some big differenence between the two?

Self rising flour is flour with salt and baking powder already added. If you substitute plain flour for self rising, you have to add, I think, 1 1/4 tsp. of baking powder and a pinch or so of salt for each cup of plain flour.

These are the recipes I have for self rising flour. Frankly I haven't tried them yet.

Gluten-free self-raising flour #1

2 tablespoons potato flour

enough white rice flour to make it up to 1 cup

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate soda

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon xanthan gum OR guar gum OR pre-gel starch

Self-Rising Flour #2

4 cups gluten-free all purpose flour mix (your favorite)

1 Tablespoon sugar

1/2 Tablespoon salt

2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon baking powder

Sift together all ingredients well, store in zippered storage bags.

Can be used in any recipe calling for self-rising flour.

About 4 1/4 cups

Gluten-free self-raising flour #3

1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour plus 1-1/2

teaspoons baking powder AND 1/8 teaspoon salt. Sift and mix it all

together well before adding the rest of the ingredients.

I hope this helps!

I buy Orgran's gluten-free All Purpose and Self Rising Flour, both are awesome.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
