Working with self-rising flour

Self-Rising Flour sits in the flours & starches group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so never substitute it 1:1 by volume in a recipe that adds its own leavening.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.

Also sold as: self-raising flour. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
