self-rising flour

Biscuit-ready baking staple

Self-rising flour is flour with baking powder and salt already mixed in, eliminating the need to add leavening agents separately.

It's convenient for quick breads, biscuits, and pancakes but unsuitable for recipes requiring precise leavening control.

Also spelled self-raising flour, especially in British English.
