yes
Yes you do need to put in baking powder because baking powder makes them rise
You can use self-rising flour in any recipe that also calls for baking powder. When you do use self-rising flour be sure to omit baking powder, salt and baking soda if in the recipe.
Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar. You cannot just substitute cream of tartar for baking powder - you also need the baking soda.
You can use self rising flour. Just omit any salt, baking soda, and baking powder. The texture is not as "heavy" and is the way I like it. Very tasty.
No, you would be better off replacing it with flour. Corn starch isn't really a leavening agent (like baking powder); it is more of a thickening agent that binds things together.
If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.
Add one rounded teaspoon of baking powder to each cup of flour. I frequently do this and it always work. Note - not a flat teaspoon of baking powder, not a heaped teaspoon but a rounded teaspoon!
This is only a guide. Anything that needs to rise or uses self-raising flour. This is because if you do not have any SR flour you can use plain flour and baking powder. Also using baking powder you can control how much food will rise. This is especially useful for cakes as all ovens are different. Other recipes that may use baking powder could be scones and some biscuits.
It depends on the recipe. Self-rising flour already has baking powder in it, but if the recipe has acidic ingredients, such as buttermilk or sour milk, it may still need some baking soda to rise properly. You will need to make an educated guess.
Baking powder - add two teaspoons of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. In America they call "plain flower" all "purpose flour", in Australia where I am from we have 2 main types Plain & self raising. :)
