Formula:
The standard ratio for making self-rising flour at home is:
- For every 1 cup of all-purpose flour (APF):
- Add 1 Β½ teaspoons of baking powder (BP)
- Add ΒΌ teaspoon of fine salt (S)
Our calculator scales these precise proportions based on your desired amount of all-purpose flour.
Formula Used:
BP (teaspoons) = APF (cups) × 1.5
S (teaspoons) = APF (cups) × 0.25
The total volume of self-rising flour will be approximately equal to your initial amount of all-purpose flour, as the added leavening and salt contribute negligibly to overall volume for practical baking purposes.
