How to Make Self-Rising Flour

It's Quick & Easy

From Nancy Gaifyllia, for About.com

Self-rising flour has been widely available in the Greek market for many years, and some recipes may call for it. If you don't have any on hand, or just prefer not to buy it, you can make your own. It's very easy.

To make one cup of self-rising flour:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Sift together.

Note: Unless a recipe calls for self-rising flour and yeast specifically, do not use it in yeast dough recipes.
