How To Make Your Own Self Raising Flour

A simple tip from the farm kitchen for this Friday morning. We bulk buy our plain flour here on the farm, and then make our own self raising flour when we need it. We do this because it saves space, but it is also a great tip to know if you have just run out of self raising flour and cannot be bothered to go to the shops.

Here it is:

For every cup (250ml) of plain flour add 2 teaspoons (10ml) of baking powder.

Make sure it is baking powder and not bicarbonate of soda – which is sometimes called baking soda. If you want it really well mixed together you can sift the flour and baking powder several times, but if you are like me, you can just put them together in a bowl and give it a quick mix.

Works every time.

    Hi Jo. This is a great post. So many people, especially my followers in the States, don't know what SR flour is. I'm featuring this one in my round up at tomorrow's Thriving on Thursdays. Always great to have you visit.

    Hi, are 2 teaspoons of baking powder not too much for just one cup of flour?

We’re getting to the end of the summer break 😭. The kids have been staying up late, sleeping in, swimming and kayaking on the dam, reading and watching movies, and giving the LEGO a good run. I’ve been reading, sorting out things (it’s what I do in January), binge watching Netflix, and cooking. In the evenings I go for a walk and always arrive back to this view as the sun is setting. Also, I haven’t taken down the Christmas lights yet, and I probably won’t for a while longer because they are so pretty. Not ready for summer to end!

I even pulled everything out on the bathroom vanity and gave it a purge and deep clean. I have no idea how half the stuff got there 🤷‍♀️. For me January is a time to reset the house, de clutter and get sorted. Something about a new year perhaps? 🤔
Anyhow, here’s a pic of my freshly decobwebbed (totally a word) window  which makes me happy- just don’t look too closely!

The mulberry tree has begun to fruit so I whipped up this mulberry yoghurt cake. It’s delicious and easy. The mulberries go all jammy and the cake is soft and not too sweet. Perfect comfort food with a hot drink when it feels like the world has gone mad.
