Can you make self-raising flour without baking powder?

Yes! I haven’t tested this myself, but you can make baking powder using cream of tartar and baking soda. To make one tablespoon of baking powder, mix 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar with 1 teaspoon of baking soda. From this, measure out what you need for this recipe for self raising flour!

How do you make self raising flour bread or biscuits?

All of my bread recipes use either all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour or einkorn flour for the reasons I mentioned earlier – money, time, and convenience. I don’t normally keep self raising flour on hand, because I hate to buy an ingredient I’ll only use in one recipe, and it’s MUCH easier to make a small batch when I need it! If you find a quick breads recipe or biscuit recipe using self raising flour, just make a batch of this homemade self raising flour recipe and use it as it’s called for in the recipe!

Is it okay to replace plain flour with self raising flour?

It depends. If your recipe calls for both flour and baking powder, you can use self raising flour in place of both ingredients. If your recipe doesn’t include baking powder or another leavening agent, skip the self raising flour and stick with regular flour instead.
