    What Is Self-Rising Flour?

    Self-rising flour includes a leavening agent and is used for baked goods that need to rise during baking.  Biscuits, quick breads, cakes, and scones are examples of items that may call for self-rising flour.

    Here's a secret: I never buy self-rising flour.  I used to keep a bag of it right alongside my regular all-purpose flour, but I noticed that some of it almost always went to waste after it "got old" and the baking powder lost its leavening power.  Now I just mix it up myself using a few simple ingredients and I no longer have to worry about waste or - even worse - ending up with flat baked goods from old self-rising flour.  Here's how to do it!

    What's in Self-Rising Flour?

    Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt blended into it.  Yup, that's it.  As long as you keep a fresh container of baking powder in your kitchen, you'll never have to pass up a recipe that calls for self-rising flour again.

    Description

    Here's an easy homemade self-rising flour so you don't have to buy the store bought version anymore. No more trying to use it up before the baking powder goes inactive!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour*
    • 1.5 tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp salt

    Instructions

    1. Whisk all ingredients well. Use in recipes as desired.

    Notes

    * Make sure you use low, moderate, or high protein all-purpose flours depending on what you need for your recipes. Delicate recipes like cake or fluffy biscuits will do better with a soft, low-protein flour.
