Uses for Self-Rising Flour |
|
|
I bought a 5 lb. bag of self-rising flour to use in one specific recipe... now I have most of the bag leftover and wondered how I might use it up? Can I use it in a recipe that calls for all-purpose flour and baking powder and just leave out the leavening? Could it be used for biscuits perhaps?
Thanks, Debbie from IL

Alph: Please don't throw the flour out if you don't have a use for it. With the price of flour going up these days, it might be a hot commodity soon. If the bags are unopened, could you donate them to your local food bank? We have several people come to our distribution center who ask for flour.
Anyone have a non-beer bread recipe to share?

Self rising can replace all-purpose flour in just about any recipe. Simply omit baking soda, salt, and baking powder where it appears in the recipe you are using.
Does anyone know of a simple bread recipe? (anything but beer/soda-bread)

I absolutely HATE Plain Flour. Every recipe that I've used it in always has a bitter taste. I use self rising flour for everything I bake. Cakes, Biscuits, cookies and anything that calls for flour.

No stress guys self raising flour and plain flour are practically the same its just one fizzes in your mouth... thats the self raising one. personally i find i easier than laboriously measuring salt... I suppose that makes me different to Alph.

I'm from the UK (London) and we do have All Purpose flour just in specialised shops. In someof the major suprmarkets you may be able to purchase it but I guess it is mainly in ethnic shops

In SA, all-purpose flour is known as cake flour, or "koekmeel" in Afrikaans.

RE: Uses for Self-Rising Flour
Some folks left a couple bags of self-rising flour at my house and I have absolutely no use for it. I have known some cooks who had great results using it so I'm not implying that there is anything wrong with it. I just resent products that make pointless assumptions on my behalf. I mean, do they think that I don't have baking powder, salt, and measuring spoons? Do they think I am too stupid and/or lazy to use these items properly? Or maybe they believe either that the only thing I use flour in is biscuits or that I like filling up empty shelf space with an extra bag of flour.
I guess I dislike the concept for much the same reason as I dislike automatic transmissions in cars and trucks, or the little dash lights on some straight-drive vehicles that tell me when to shift the gears, or cash registers that tell me how much change I owe the customer. I've been doing these and many other things for quite some time now and I know how I want them done. Personally, I usually find these little step saving attempts confusing and annoying, like having some other cook in my kitchen under my feet when I'm trying to cook. At some point I'll probably have to strongly request that they get the ... , well, get out of my kitchen and let me cook.
And that's what I like about self-rising flour: it doesn't get offended when you throw it out.

Self Rising Flour is all I use. I use it to make everything from baking to flouring meat and etc for frying. I have only bought plain flour once for a specific recipe and it sat in the fridge until I just forced myself to use it. Just use SR Flour like you would use plain flour. you wont know the difference

I learned to cook in England and all-purpose flour is known as "plain" flour.

Self-rising flour is what i always use for biscuits. Just add water to the thickness you want, then after sprinkling extra flour on top, I squeeze out the size biscuit i want, pat it down, place in oil, turn over then bake. My mother-in-law always had perfect biscuits and I asked her how she made them so that they were always perfect. She told me it was a secret, that she used self-rising flour. That is all I have used for the past 20 years.

Self rising already has the baking powder and salt in it, so just leave those out when using this flour.

I make beer bread with it, You don't have to use beek any carbonated beverage will do
3 cups self rising floor 1/2 cup of sugar 12 z beer
Mix well and turn into a greased 9x5 bread pan
bake 350 about 40 minutes or until it is nicely browned..
You can spread butter on the top of the loa, when it is done f if you wish.
different flavored soda's will give you different flavored breads.
This bread is really good when used as a 'dipper'
Enjoy

I use self-rising flour in a buttermilk pancake recipe (with buttermilk) and my family likes the pancakes better than with the mixes.

Hi, Hope this is of help, you can use self raising flour instead of all purpose flower for baking cakes, sponges, pancakes (anything that rises when cooking)etc - we use it all the time in England as there is no such product as all purpose flour!
