Self-rising flour
About Self-rising flour[]
Wikipedia Article About Self-rising flour on Wikipedia
Self-rising or self-raising flour is "white" wheat flour that is sold premixed with chemical leavening agents. It was invented by Henry Jones.
Do not substitute self-rising flour for regular flour in a recipe, because you will end up with too much leavening in your dough!
