Description
Bake with confidence using Brodie Cake & Pastry Self-Raising Flour, a Canadian tradition since 1867. Distributed by ChickenPieces.com from our Calgary logistics hub, this 2.5 kg bag eliminates the guesswork of adding baking powder and salt. Milled from select soft wheat, it features a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, ensuring your baked goods stay tender and delicate rather than chewy or tough.
Why It Works
- Precision Blended: Contains the exact proportions of baking powder and salt required for optimal leavening, saving you prep time.
- Soft Wheat Milling: Produced from finer wheat varieties that yield a lower gluten content, essential for "melt-in-your-mouth" textures.
- Consistent Results: Brodie’s time-tested formula ensures that your tenth batch of biscuits is just as fluffy as your first.
- Versatile 2.5 kg Size: The ideal volume for regular home bakers—large enough for multiple projects but easy to store in a standard pantry.
- Heritage Quality: One of Canada's oldest and most respected flour brands, known for reliability across generations of recipes.
- Fast Calgary Logistics: Stocked locally in Alberta, we provide rapid, tracked shipping across Canada to keep your oven preheated and ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this instead of All-Purpose flour?
Only if your recipe calls for "Self-Raising" flour. Because this contains leavening agents, using it in a recipe designed for All-Purpose (without adjusting other ingredients) will cause your baked goods to over-rise and possibly collapse.
Does it contain salt?
Yes, Brodie Self-Raising Flour already contains the necessary salt for the leavening reaction. Usually, you do not need to add extra salt to your dough unless specified by a specialty recipe.
Is it bleached?
Brodie Cake & Pastry flour is typically bleached to achieve the bright white color and soft texture necessary for delicate pastry work. Please check the physical bag for the most current milling specifications.
How should I measure it?
For best results, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Sifting is recommended for the lightest possible cakes, even though Brodie is finely milled.
What is the shelf life?
Because of the leavening agents, self-raising flour has a shorter shelf life than plain flour. For the best rise, we recommend using the bag within 6 months of purchase or by the date printed on the package.
