  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure out the flour very carefully for every cup of self-rising flour your recipe calls for. 
  2. To a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Notes

You’ll want to keep your homemade self-rising flour in an airtight container or glass jar in a cool, dark place like your pantry. Your refrigerator or freezer are good options as well. Properly stored, your flour will be good for up to 6 months.

When you’re looking to replace wheat-based self-rising flour with a gluten-free option, it’s important to choose a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. This is different from regular gluten-free all-purpose flour. Look for xanthan gum in the ingredients, as it helps bind everything together.

Whole wheat flour and pastry flour can also be used.
