Self-rising flour is a mixture of all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. It is usually made with a softer wheat, so it creates a more tender product, and is commonly used for biscuits. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make it yourself. To make self-rising flour, combine 1 cup of flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. It should weigh 4.5 oz or about 128 grams per cup.This is my running list of recipes made with self-rising flour.
Self-Rising Flour Recipes
Banana Bread -- This is a very basic recipe for banana bread with self-rising flour. It's also one of the most popular recipes on this blog.
Double Chocolate Cookies -- Another one of my favorite recipes, these can be made without an electric mixer. The recipe is from White Lily.
Easy Chocolate Muffins -- I've made this recipe twice in the past week. They're perfect if you like a not-too-sweet muffin, but if you add 2 tablespoons they'll be more dessert-like.
Biscuits for Two -- Very easy small batch biscuit recipe.
Sour Cream Biscuits -- In this post I used the biscuits for strawberry shortcake, but they are delicious by themselves.
Yellow Cake -- This recipe, adapted from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook, calls for half self-rising flour and half all-purpose.
Pistachio Cardamom Cake with Lime Glaze -- This cake is made in the food processor. This is a great recipe for cardamom lovers.
Nutella Sandwich Cookies -- one of my favorite 3 ingredient recipes (and recipes with self-rising flour) is for Nutella Sandwich Cookies.
Chocolate Chip Cookies -- I made these chocolate chip cookies yesterday. They had crispy brown edges.
Self-Rising Flour Orange Cranberry Crunch Muffins
Melted Ice Cream Bread -- A new addition! This is a cross between a quick bread and a cake.
