A Little History….

In 1855, self rising flour was finally put to use to make soft, fresh quick bread for sailors, partly at the behest of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.

Jones also was granted a patent for his self rising flour invention in the United States in 1849, and in 1852 the first gold medal for the new flour was issued to a Chicago firm using the Bristol formula.

His invention remains a popular staple in British and North American kitchens and pantries to this day.
