Self-raising flour is a versatile baking ingredient made by combining all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a small amount of salt. Originating from the United Kingdom, it simplifies recipes requiring leavening agents, making it a staple in British cuisine for cakes, scones, and biscuits. Its pre-mixed composition allows for consistent results in baking, eliminating the need to measure and mix leavening agents separately. Nutritionally, self-raising flour contains carbohydrates and a modest amount of protein, but it is low in fiber and micronutrients compared to whole-grain flours. While convenient for baked goods, it may not be ideal for health-conscious recipes due to the inclusion of refined flour and added sodium. Opting for wholemeal self-raising flour may provide a slightly healthier alternative, offering more fiber while retaining its ease of use in recipes.
