It’s a common ingredient in some recipes, especially older recipes. Some common recipes that use it include flaky biscuits and pancakes or our Blackberry Cobbler Recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between self-rising flour and all-purpose flour?

Self-rising flour contains additional ingredients not found in all-purpose flour. These ingredients are salt and a concentrated form of baking powder. All-purpose flour can be used in most flour-containing recipes while self-rising cannot.

How can I substitute self-rising flour?

You can make your own substitute by measuring 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, gently whisk the ingredients in a mixing bowl and use as 1 cup self-rising flour.

Is self-rising flour all-purpose flour?

If you’re missing all-purpose flour from your list of baking ingredients, it’s important to understand that self-rising flour is not the same thing. However, you can still use it as a substitute in certain recipes.
