self-raising flour

Baking-ready grain powder

Self-raising flour is flour with baking powder already mixed in, eliminating the need to add a leavening agent separately.

Standard in British recipes for cakes, scones, and quick breads: The recipe calls for 200 grams of self-raising flour.

American recipes more often use all-purpose flour with baking powder added.

Also spelled self-rising flour.
