✦ Built-in leavening ✦ UK-enriched with calcium and iron ✦ Reliable rise for cakes ✦ Time-saving convenience

Self-raising flour is plain white flour with baking powder and salt already incorporated, pre-mixed to give a consistent, reliable rise in cakes and scones without requiring additional leavening. It is enriched with calcium, iron, niacin, and thiamin like other UK white flours.

Preparation note

Do not add extra baking powder to a recipe that calls for self-raising flour — double-leavening makes cakes collapse. Not suitable for recipes requiring yeast or where no rise is wanted.
