  • Best Uses: quick breads such as biscuits, muffins, pancakes, and scones
Self-rising flour is a variety of white flour that has salt and baking powder already combined into it. This flour is traditionally used for quick breads such as biscuits, scones, and muffins, as it combines three of the most common ingredients in these recipes into one.
The name “self-rising” unfortunately has led to a common misconception that this flour can be used in place of yeast in a recipe. This is not true. Yeast and baking powder function very differently, as we will discuss in the leavening section.
