So my understanding is that self-rising has salt and baking flour in it that reacts with the acidic ingredients in the batter to make bubbles that help the cake rise....... so baking soda doesn't play a part in the self-rising. So no you couldn't.

Can you use regular flour instead of self- rising flour?

Only use self-rising flour (aka self-raising) as a substitute for regular flour if the recipe gives instructions for doing so. Self-rising flour contains salt and leavening and cannot be used as a direct replacement in all recipes that call for plain flour.Well once I made biscuits with regular flour and they were rock hard, so unless you want rocks instead of fluffy soft biscuits, then you can't use rugular flour instead of self-rising.


Can you substitute self-rising flour for yeast?

It depends what it is you are trying to make. When using yeast, you are usually trying to bake bread or some sort of product that is made with strong flour (i.e. a flour with a high protein - 'gluten' - content). Self-rising flour is a soft flour with a low protein content and thus the product will be more crumbly. It is more usual to substitute yeast with baking soda and some sort of acid (cream of tartar or buttermilk), or baking powder.


Can you substitute bakers flour for plain flour in crepes?

If by 'bakers flour' you mean self rising flour, the answer is no. Self rising flour has baking powder which causes it to rise. With crepes, you want them to stay thin and delicate, not to rise and have a bread-like consistency.


Is yeast the same as self raising flour?

No, yeast and self-rising flour are two different products. Yeast is a microorganism (a fungus) that is added to flour and other ingredients to make bread dough rise. Self-rising flour is all-purpose white wheat flour that has baking powder and salts added to it, generally used to make biscuits and other quick breads.
