What can you do with self-raising wheat flour?

In today's society, few people use raised wheat to make food. Most of the food made with wheat is made in breakfast shops or restaurants. The accelerated pace of life has left many working people with no time to make their own products. And many people don’t know what kind of food can be made from spontaneous wheat. This wheat is finely ground. So, what can you do with self-raising wheat flour?

First, what can be done with self-raising wheat ? Self-raising flour is made by adding a certain amount of food additives that can produce gas to flour. People only need to add water or egg paste to make various puffed foods, such as steamed buns, cakes and fried dough sticks. This can avoid tedious processes such as weighing, mixing, fermentation and de-alkali, and can reduce the requirements for food production technology. It can stabilize and improve the quality of food, save time, and is simple and convenient. It is an ideal convenience food for families, canteens, troops and field operations [1]. Self-raising flour is commonly used in economically developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and Australia. In our country, with the improvement of people's living standards and the acceleration of the pace of life, people are eager to be freed from the heavy housework of preparing three meals a day, and hope to save time and simplify the preparation of family food. On the other hand, people are also more interested in making various kinds of food by themselves. Especially in recent years, small egg beaters and ovens have entered households, and baked foods such as cakes have begun to appear in household foods, so the role of self-raising flour in modern Chinese families has become more and more obvious.

Second, self-raising flour is a mixture of flour and food additives . Food additives are the key to self-raising flour. This food additive is a leavening agent, also known as a bulking agent. Leavening agents can be divided into two categories: alkaline leavening agents and compound leavening agents. The taste of the product using a single alkaline leavening agent is poor, so people often use a compound leavening agent. Compound leavening agents are used in self-raising flour. The compound leavening agent is composed of two major parts: an alkali agent and an acid agent. During the process of steaming, baking or frying, the alkali agent and the acid agent undergo a neutralization reaction, releasing carbon dioxide gas, which gradually increases the volume of the dough or egg batter, and finally makes steamed buns, cakes or fried dough sticks. No alkaline substances remain in the products, thus improving product quality. The key to compound leavening agent is the selection of acid. Experiments have shown that if the acid used is properly selected, the effectiveness of the leavening agent and the quality of the product can be fully improved.

What can be done with self-raising wheat ? It can be used to make all kinds of baked goods such as pancakes, baked cakes, hot pancakes, etc., but it cannot be used to make dumplings, as it will destroy the gluten of the dumplings and cause them to break. It can also be used to fry things, such as fried chicken, fish, and prawns. To make the buns, first mix the self-raising flour until it becomes loose, then add appropriate amount of warm water (30-35 degrees), and knead into a soft and uniform dough. Let rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes. Put the pot on cold water and heat it on low heat. After the water boils, steam it on medium heat for 15 minutes before removing from the pot.

2. Ingredients for crispy fried milk: 500ml milk, 100g cornstarch, 1 cup of self-raising flour, 70g sugar.

1. Put milk, cornstarch and sugar in a pot and mix into a powder-free milk paste. Stir over medium-low heat until thick and solidified, then turn off the heat.

2. Pour into a container and smooth it, then put it in the refrigerator to make frozen milk cake (you can put it in the freezer to make it quicker)

3. Cut the frozen milk cake into small rectangular cubes.

4. Mix the self-raising flour with 3/4 cup of water, a little salt and oil to make a crispy paste, and coat the cake with the paste.

5. Fry over medium heat until the surface is golden brown, then drain and serve.

3. Cake ingredients: 4 eggs, 150g sugar (according to personal taste), 150g self-raising flour (Ideal brand). (for 3-4 people). Preparation:

1. First, beat the eggs in a container, add sugar, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved (stirring by hand for about 30 minutes), then add self-raising flour, and stir the eggs and other ingredients until they become a very thin batter. (The whole process takes about 45 minutes).

2. First brush a layer of oil on the prepared plate to prevent the cake from sticking to the plate. Put it in a pot and steam it, then pour the mixed cake batter into a dish, cover it with a lid, and steam it for 20-25 minutes.
