How to measure self-rising flour

Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so don't add your own leavening.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure self-rising flour is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Self-rising flour conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of self-rising flour weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Self-rising flour is less dense than water (120 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
