How do I measure self-rising flour accurately?

For accurate self-rising flour measurement, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Don't scoop directly from the bag, as this compacts the flour and gives you more than intended.

Why should I weigh self-rising flour instead of using cups?
