Measuring self-rising flour by cup and by weight
Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, and a cup weighs about 113 g. Because the leavening is mixed in, it loses strength on the shelf: a bag that has sat for a year may give flat biscuits. If a recipe calls for self-rising flour and you only have all-purpose, add baking powder and salt rather than hoping it will rise.
