Introduction
Self-rising flour is a fantastic ingredient to have on hand. It’s useful for making pancakes, biscuits, waffles, muffins, and more. You simply add baking powder and salt to it and you’re ready to go! We’ve collected some delicious recipes that will make cooking with self-rising flour easy and tasty.
Pancakes
- Flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Eggs
- Milk
- Oil
Add these ingredients to the bowl:
- Sugar (1/4 cup) – for sweetness! You can add more sugar if you want your drink to be sweeter. I like my pancakes extra sweet, so I use 1/2 cup of sugar in this recipe. If you’re not as big of a sweet tooth, feel free to cut back on it! You could even omit it completely and just use maple syrup or honey instead! But if you do want some sweetness in your pancakes, then by all means–add some sugar! It’ll make them delicious 🙂
Vanilla extract – adds flavor!!! You can also use almond extract instead if that’s more up your alley 🙂
Biscuits
Biscuits are a quick and easy breakfast food. They’re made from self-rising flour, buttermilk, and shortening. The ingredients can be mixed together quickly in one bowl and then baked in a muffin tin for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius). Biscuits are great served with butter and jam or honey!
Waffles
The ingredients for waffles are simple: flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. You’ll also need eggs and milk (or buttermilk).
To make the batter for your waffles, combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Then allow it to sit while you preheat your waffle iron. When it’s ready to cook on both sides (about 5 minutes), remove from heat and serve hot with butter or syrup!
Leftover batter can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 days before being used to make more waffles–just don’t add too much extra liquid since this may cause lumps in your batter when cooking again!
Cornbread Muffins
- Use self-rising flour
- Use buttermilk
- Use butter, eggs and vanilla extract (if you want to make them extra special)
- Line muffin tin with paper baking cups or grease the pan with butter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Brownies
Brownies are a popular dessert and they can be made in many different ways. Self-rising flour is used in brownies, so if you’re looking for a delicious, easy recipe that doesn’t require any other ingredients (such as baking powder or baking soda), this is the one for you!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine melted
2 eggs
Coffee cake
Coffee cake is a sweet bread that’s usually served with coffee. It can be made in a loaf pan or muffin tin, and topped with streusel, nuts or fruit.
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
To make this recipe you will need:
1 stick butter (or margarine) softened at room temperature (you can also use oil)
Muffins with cranberries, walnuts, and oats
Muffins with cranberries, walnuts, and oats
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine at room temperature (1 stick) – you can use melted butter if you prefer that method!
- 1 egg lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons milk for an egg wash on top of the muffin batter before baking them in the oven at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely on a wire rack before serving hot out of the oven or cold later on in your day!
Banana Bread
You’ll need:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (or 4 tablespoons of melted butter)
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk for brushing the top
- 3 overripe bananas mashed until smooth
These recipes all use self-rising flour.
Self-rising flour is a mixture of all-purpose flour and baking powder. It’s used in recipes that call for self-rising flour, but it’s not the same thing as self-rising cake mix–the latter contains additional ingredients like sugar and salt.
