The Complete Guide

How Much To Use

Always follow your recipe. As a guide, most recipes use about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons per cup of flour.

BakeBaking powder per 1 cup flour
Cakes and cupcakesAbout 1 tsp
Muffins and quick breads1 to 1 1/4 tsp
Pancakes and wafflesAbout 2 tsp
Biscuits and sconesAbout 1 1/2 tsp

To make 1 cup of self-rising flour, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt.

Tips And Common Mistakes

  • Measure level. Scoop, then sweep the top flat with a knife. A heaping spoon can make a bitter taste and cause cakes to rise then sink.
  • Whisk it into the flour. Mix it well with the dry ingredients so you don't get pockets of bitter powder.
  • Don't wait too long to bake. Double-acting powder saves some lift for the oven, but batters still rise best when baked soon after mixing.
  • It is not baking soda. They are not swapped one for one. See the FAQ below.

Who It's For

  • Bakers who want a baking powder with no added aluminum and no metallic aftertaste
  • Gluten-free bakers
  • Families who make pancakes, waffles, biscuits and muffins often
  • Vegan bakers, as it has no animal ingredients

Recipes to Make

Flaky Butter Biscuits

8 biscuitsPrep 15 minCook 14 min
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Bob's Red Mill baking powder
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
Steps
  1. Heat the oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the pieces are the size of small peas.
  4. Pour in the milk and stir with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured counter, pat it 3/4 inch thick, fold it in half, and pat it out again. Cut into 8 rounds with a floured 2 1/2 inch cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
  6. Place the biscuits close together on the sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes, until tall and golden. Serve warm.
Tip: Twisting the cutter seals the edges and keeps biscuits from rising high. Press straight down and lift.

Fluffy Weekend Pancakes

About 10 pancakes, 4 servingsPrep 10 minCook 15 min
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Bob's Red Mill baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter, plus more for the pan
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir just until combined. Small lumps are fine. Let it rest 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a lightly buttered pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles appear and the edges look dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden.
Tip: Overmixing makes tough, flat pancakes. Stop stirring as soon as you no longer see dry flour.

Simple Blueberry Muffins

12 muffinsPrep 15 minCook 22 min
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp Bob's Red Mill baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Steps
  1. Heat the oven to 375 F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the milk, oil, egg and vanilla.
  4. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and fold gently until just combined. Fold in the blueberries. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them.
  5. Divide the batter among the 12 cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake 20 to 24 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan.
Tip: Toss the berries with 1 tbsp of the flour mix before folding in, so they don't all sink to the bottom.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

How can I tell if my baking powder is still active?
Stir 1/2 teaspoon into 2 tablespoons of warm water. It should bubble and foam within a few seconds. If it barely fizzes, replace it rather than using more.
Can I use baking soda instead, or the other way around?
Not one for one. To replace 1 teaspoon baking powder, mix 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar and 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch. It takes about 3 teaspoons baking powder to stand in for 1 teaspoon baking soda.
Can I use baking powder in place of yeast?
No. Baking powder works in minutes and suits quick breads, biscuits and pancakes. Yeast breads need yeast.
Why is there cornstarch in it?
Cornstarch keeps the powder dry.
