How to convert ounces of self-rising flour to cups
Weight ounces first become grams (1 oz = 28.35 g), so 8 oz = 227 g. One US cup of self-rising flour weighs 125 g, so 227 ÷ 125 = 1.81 cups.
Spoon flour into the cup and level it with a knife. Scooping straight from the bag packs it down and can add 20–30% more.
