Self-Rising Flour: Grams to Cups

Convert grams of self-rising flour to cups instantly. 1 US cup = 120g (spoon & level). Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt — do not add extra leavening when using it.

Self-rising flour is a blend of all-purpose flour, baking powder (2 tsp per cup), and salt (1/4 tsp per cup). It is slightly lighter than plain all-purpose flour and must never be used as a 1:1 substitute without removing the leavening agents from your recipe.
