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.

Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?
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.

What will happen if you don't use self rising flour in a cobbler recipe?
Your cobbler topping will not rise at all if you do not use self-raising flour. This will result in a very hard topping. (Alternatively, add baking powder to the plain flour that you have used, which will give you "self-raising" flour. )
Can self rising flour be a substitute for yeast?
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.
Is cake flour the same as self rising flour?
Short answer: NO. they are not the same. Do NOT use one for the other. I was trying out a new peach cobbler recipe. It called for self-rising flour. I found the definition for self-rising flour which is basically flour with some type of rising agent (usually baking powder) in it. That is what I thought cake flour was -- flour with baking powder. When i made the recipe using the cake flour, the cobbler did not turn out/did not rise. Therefore, I would not use cake flour in place of self=rising flour again. Use 1 cup regular flour minus 2 teaspoons. Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to equal 1 cup.
