Homemade Self-Rising Flour
You only need three common ingredients—all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt—to make homemade self-rising flour. Evenly whisking and sifting is key to achieve soft, light, and fluffy texture in your baked goods. For those looking for gluten-free options, you can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend (see the note below). If you're in a pinch and don't have self-rising flour for another recipe, use this simple swap.

Special Tools: Steel or Glass Mixing Bowl | Whisk | Sifter | Airtight Container to store your self-rising flour.
Gluten free options: Use ½ teaspoon xanthan gum if your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t already have it.

Always check the expiration dates of your ingredients and label the container with the earliest one, so you’ll know exactly when it’s best to use.
