Self-raising flour is a versatile baking ingredient pre-mixed with a leavening agent, typically baking powder, and sometimes a pinch of salt, making it ideal for recipes requiring an automatic lift, such as cakes, biscuits, and muffins. Originating from British cuisine, it was first popularized as a convenience for home bakers. The flour itself is usually milled from wheat and retains some nutrients like carbohydrates, B vitamins, and iron, depending on refinement. While its ease of use is appealing, self-raising flour may not be suitable for recipes requiring precise leavening control. Nutritionally, it can contribute to energy intake, but it is often paired with sugar and fats in baking, which may make some preparations less healthful. To balance, wholemeal variations of self-raising flour can offer added fiber, making it a moderately healthy choice when used as part of a balanced diet.
