FAQs

What can you do if you only have self-raising flour? ›

No, self-rising flour cannot be converted to all-purpose flour. However, self-rising flour can be used in lieu of all-purpose flour in recipes that call for baking soda or baking powder. Just leave out the baking soda or baking powder in the recipe, since the leaveners are already in the self-rising flour.

How do you substitute self-rising flour for all-purpose flour? ›

If you have self-rising flour that you want to use up, there are ways to swap it for all-purpose flour. Look for recipes that use about 1/2 teaspoon baking powder to each cup of all-purpose flour. Then don't add any baking powder—it's already in your self-rising flour.

How do you make 2 cups of plain flour into self-raising flour? ›

For example, if a recipe calls for 2 cups of self-rising flour, you would mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. You can also scale the recipe up to make a larger batch of DIY self-rising flour and store it for later use.

Know More ›

Do you need baking powder if you have self-rising flour? ›

What happens if you use self-raising flour instead of plain flour in cookies? ›

As a result, your cookies might come out too fluffy and/or overcooked or dry inside. The texture is not going to necessarily be what you expected. This is a personal preference, of course, but many folks will tell you if you are following a recipe to always use AP flour instead of SR flour.

Which is better self rising or all-purpose flour? ›

Using all-purpose flour allows for more freedom than self-rising flour since you can add different leavening ingredients depending on what you're trying to make. On the other hand, self-rising flour is a quicker and more convenient option for certain recipes.
