Self-Rising Flour Recipe

I always use this recipe for any self-rising flour recipes--this is the same one that Grandma taught me to use when I was just beginning to cook. Why spend almost three bucks for a package when you already have the ingredients on hand?

I notice that many recipes now call for self-rising flour which I never buy. So 2 cups of flour, 1 Tbs of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt. (How many recipes call for one cup of flour?) Works for me and I am glad you published it.

To Much Salt!!! Add Only 1/4 tsp. of salt as other sites recommend.

WORKS PERFECTLY. I, TOO, DO NOT KEEP SELF-RISING FLOUR IN THE HOUSE, IN FACT, I'VE NEVER BOUGHT ANY MY WHOLE LIFE! (54) I MAKE 8 CUPS OF THIS AT A TIME, 4TBSP BAKING POWDER AND 4 TSP SALT, PUT IN AIR TIGHT CONTAINER AND KEEP IN THE PANTRY. SO GLAD I FOUND THIS RECIPE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING IT!

I needed self rising flour for a recipe I was making and looked up on this web site how to make it. I found that this recipe is too salty. After tasting my recipe, I looked up another site and it said to use 1/4 tsp salt for a cup of flour. The amount of baking powder was the same. Next time I will use half as much salt.

I used half unbleached and half whole wheat pastry flour and I used this to make whipping cream biscuits. It worked perfectly! They were light, tender and fluffy.

Loved it! Made it with Einkorn Flour, sifted before measuring. Made apple crisp from a recipe calling For self-rising flour and it was delicious.

Thanks so much! Added a little heavy whipping cream to make soft dough, baked at 400 and made divine moist biscuits!

First time substituted for self raising flour... even the baked goods couldn’t tell if they were product of a mixture of plain flour+ BP+Salt Thank you!

I've had to toss partial bags of self-rising flour over the years because I buy them, use a little, and then the baking powder fails by the time I get to the end of the bag. This will help me salvage the partial still on the shelf by adding new baking powder in the right ratio. I'll never buy another bag again.

Couldn't find Whole Wheat Self Rising Flour, so I made my own. Awesome. Thanks!!!!

Even my skeptical friend approved.

So easy to make!

I ran out of self rising flour to make my beer bread and didn't feel like running to the store so I found this recipe. My beer bread came out great and now I will never have to buy self rising flour again. This was so easy! Thanks

Awesome recipe! Works just great! I use it for sweet and sour chicken when no self rising flour is on hand. Best self rising flour recipe i have used.

This totally ruined my cookies! It's way too much salt and my cookies were still flat unlike when I used self raising flour. I'm a seasoned Baker plus it's a recipe I've used countless times before.

Very good recipe for self-rising flour! I tried making biscuits 3 times before I realized I missed the part where it had been calling for self-rising and I had been using all-purpose! Oops! The fourth time I made them, I used this recipe before attempting and the biscuit babies finally came out all grown up! Haha. Anyway, this is a tried and true recipe and I recommend it as is. May all of your biscuits rise to the occasion.

Pefect!

Easy , easy, easy

Turned out very well. It was just as good as the prepared self-rising flour. Also much less expensive!
