Ingredients 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Whisk or sift the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  • Your homemade self-rising flour is now ready to use in your favorite recipes that call for self-rising flour.

Notes

  • Use this amount of flour for 1 cup or self rising flour in your recipe. Scales this recipe up to meet your needs. 
  • This homemade version is a great substitute when you don’t have commercial self-rising flour on hand. It’s a quick and easy solution that can be made with staple kitchen ingredients.
  • You can make a larger batch of self-rising flour and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to six months. Just scale up the recipe according to your needs.
  • Sifting is especially crucial as it not only combines the ingredients but also aerates the flour, resulting in lighter, fluffier baked goods.
  • Use this homemade self-rising flour immediately, or store it as noted for future use. Be mindful of the added leavening agents when using this in recipes.
