Replacing self-rising flour in muffin recipes is relatively straightforward, and you can easily do so with all-purpose flour and a few additional ingredients. Self-rising flour is a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. To replace it, you'll need to adjust the amounts of these ingredients accordingly.
Here's how you can substitute self-rising flour with all-purpose flour:
For every 1 cup of self-rising flour, use:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions:
Measure 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to the flour.
Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Sift or whisk the ingredients together to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Now, you have effectively replaced 1 cup of self-rising flour with the equivalent mixture using all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
