Supreme Sponge Flour

McDougalls

McDougalls Supreme Sponge Flour is a premium self-raising flour specifically milled for light, tender sponge cakes and delicate pastries. Made from specially selected soft wheats and extra-sifted for superior fineness, this flour has a low protein content (9.3%) that minimizes gluten development, resulting in cakes with a fine, silky crumb. The added raising agents (Monocalcium Phosphate and Sodium Bicarbonate) provide consistent lift without the need for additional leavening. A British pantry staple from one of the UK's most trusted heritage flour brands, established in 1864.
