∙ 15y agoIn place of self rising flour, all purpose flour with a teaspoon of baking powder can be used. The baking powder you use gives the rising effect you need while baking. this is because it is basic in nature.

∙ 11y agoWhen using flour in baking, you usually add yeast - so if you'd use that instead of self rising flour you have to add yeast. Conversely, if you are using self rising flour instead of regular flour, you have to ignore the part of the recipe that tells you to add yeast.
Adding yeast:
Take a small cup, fill it with a bit of warm water. Put in a bit of sugar, preferably powdered sugar. Then add some yeast - about 5 grams per 100 grams of flour should do. Stir it together and leave it for 10 minutes.
Add the yeast mixture through the flour, add a tiny bit of salt and mix it until you have a dough. Leave it in the mixing bowl in a ball and cover with a wet cloth. Leave it to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Once this is done, resume your normal recipe.

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.
