Self-Rising Flour Substitute
Description
This recipe explains how to make your own self-rising flour by mixing all-purpose flour with measured amounts of baking powder and salt. Two batch sizes are given: a small batch using 1 cup flour, 1½ teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt, and a large batch using 4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisking these ingredients well blends the leavening evenly throughout the flour.
Using this substitute allows for baking breads, biscuits, or cakes that call for self-rising flour, ensuring consistent rise and flavor. The salt provides subtle seasoning while the baking powder supplies the leavening power needed for doughs and batters to expand during baking.
Mix the substitute right before use or store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. This substitute is a practical alternative if self-rising flour is unavailable.
Ingredients
For a small batch:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For a large batch:

Notes
