Self-raising flour is a convenient baking ingredient that contains all-purpose or plain flour mixed with a leavening agent, usually baking powder. It’s widely used in recipes for cakes, muffins, scones, and pancakes. Known as self-rising flour in the United States, this flour helps baked goods rise without the need to add extra baking powder or soda.

As measuring flour inconsistently can affect the rise and texture of your baking, converting it by weight gives better, more reliable results. This page provides accurate conversions between grams, cups, and tablespoons for self-raising flour
