If you’re using self-rising flour vs. all-purpose flour, remember that you do not need to add the recipe’s leavening. Self-rising flour is ideal for baked goods that require a high rise such as:
Biscuits
Scones
Pancakes
Quick Bread
Muffins
You can easily make your own self-rising flour by whisking together 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. Remember, leavening agents will lose their potency over time, so don’t store your self-rising flour for longer than six months.
