Measuring 125g of Self-Rising Flour in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of self-rising flour weighs 113g when measured spooned & leveled, 125 Grams (125g) translates to 1.11 US cups (1 cup + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 125g occupies ¾ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 ½ tsp (0.93 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 cup + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp (17.7 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Whisk briefly to evenly disperse the baking powder and salt before spooning into the measuring cup.
