How to measure self-rising flour accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of self-rising flour weighs about 125 grams (4.41 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts self-rising flour and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Don't add extra leavening to a recipe that already calls for self-rising flour. To make your own, whisk 1½ tsp baking powder and ¼ tsp salt into each cup of all-purpose flour.
