Self-rising flour, a blend of flour, baking powder, and salt, is a Southern staple. And now, we"ve created our own King Arthur Unbleached Self-Rising Flour. Milled from a lower-protein wheat than all-purpose flour, it produces softer, more tender baked goods, including biscuits, pancakes, cakes, cookies, muffins, pastries, and more.Self-rising flour"s main point of distinction may very well be in its name: self-rising. This convenient flour eliminates two steps in many of your favorite recipes: adding the baking powder, and adding the salt. Both are already in the flour.
