Notes

For a larger batch, combine 6 cups (720g) all-purpose flour with 3 tablespoons baking powder and 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt. This homemade self-rising flour stays fresh for up to 3 months in your pantry, but for best results, remake it every few months as baking powder gradually loses its strength over time.
When using this mix in recipes, for every 1 cup of self-rising flour called for, use 1 cup of this mix and omit any additional baking powder and salt in the recipe.
For a whole wheat variation, replace half the all-purpose flour with white whole-wheat flour and increase the baking powder to 1¾ teaspoons per cup. For a gluten-free version, substitute with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum.
