What is self-rising flour?
Self-rising flour is a flour mixture that combines flour, baking powder, and salt.
It's usually made from a slightly lower protein flour to give a softer, more tender baked good.
What is self-rising flour used for?
It's commonly used in recipes in the Southern U.S. in recipes for biscuits, pancakes, and muffins.
Can I use it in place of all-purpose flour?
No, because self-rising flour also contains baking powder and salt, it isn't a good substitute for all-purpose flour.
It's best to use it in recipes that were created using self-rising flour.
