Specialist artisan bakeries buy this flour thanks to the delicious taste and texture of the cakes and other products it consistently delivers.
What Is The Difference Between Self-Raising Flour and Plain Flour?
As the name suggests, the critical difference between Self-raising flour and plain flour is that self-raising flour has a raising agent added to it. Think of self-raising flour as a ready-made ingredient designed to make the cake baking process easier. Some bakers choose to use plain flour as it allows them to add raising agents separately, which can deliver greater flexibility in their baking process.
The History of Self-Raising Flour
Self-raising flour was invented in England back in the 1800s. Its original purpose was to help sailors bake higher-quality food when stuck on a ship for a long time. Like all good inventions, it was a combination of a range of already available ingredients that, when combined, solved a problem. Self-raising flour has since gone on to be used in industry and homes worldwide.
