Question

Wat is the difference between self raising flour and wholemeal flour??

Answer 1

As far as I know, Self raising flour has a raising agent added to it to make it rise when making cakes etc. Wholemeal flour includes the grain coating I believe it's not removed when the milling process takes place. But plain wholemeal flower doesnt contain the raising agent.  But you can get Wholemeal self raising flour.

Answer 2

wholemeal flour hasn't had all the husk removed, not as refined as plain flour and s/r flour has had a raising agent, i think baking powder, added to it.
