Measuring 85g 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, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.75 US cups (¾ cup). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (135g/cup — a 22g per-cup shift), 85g occupies ½ cup + 2 tbsp + ¼ tsp (0.63 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup (12.04 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Whisk briefly to evenly disperse the baking powder and salt before spooning into the measuring cup.
