How to Make Self-Rising Flour
Making self-rising flour at home is easy. Just use this basic formula: For every 1 cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl or put them in a glass jar and shake well. Store your self-rising flour in an airtight container in the pantry. (Be sure to label it, so you know it contains a leavener.) Use within six months or the baking powder will start to lose its potency.
