For the most accurate results, weigh self-rising flour on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, sift or whisk first to break up clumps, then spoon into the measuring spoon and level off. Do not scoop directly from the bag.

Does the measurement method affect how much self-rising flour weighs per cup? expand_more

Yes, quite a bit. If you spoon the flour into your measuring spoon and level it off, you will get about 120 grams per cup.

This conversion uses the spoon-and-level method, which is the standard most baking references follow.
