About All-Purpose Flour
Loosen the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup and sweep off the excess without tapping. Follow the recipe's order if it specifies sifting before measuring.
All-purpose flour contains no added raising agent. Replacing self-rising flour therefore requires an appropriate addition of baking powder and, where included, salt; reducing them reverses the adjustment.
Tips for measuring All-Purpose Flour
