Making your own self-raising flour is easy, all you need is plain flour (all-purpose flour) and baking powder. It's a handy backup if you ever run out of self-raising flour while baking.
My Thermomix basics series focuses on simple pantry staples you can make at home in your Thermomix. From Thermomix icing sugar to Thermomix caster sugar, these homemade basics are a great way to save time, money, and extra trips to the supermarket.
DIY Self-Raising Flour Tips
Ratio: Use 1 teaspoon of baking powder for every 100 g of plain flour.
Ensure your baking powder is fresh: If the baking powder is past its use-by date, your cakes and muffins won't rise properly. To check if it's still active, try this quick test:
- Boil some water.
- Place ½ a teaspoon of baking powder into a small ramekin or mug.
- Pour in about 100ml of the hot water.
- If it fizzes energetically, it's active. If it does nothing or fizzes weakly, it's time to replace it.
Storage
Transfer the flour to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark pantry for up to 6 months.
