Best Answer

Self-rising flour has baking soda, baking powder and salt added in. All-purpose flour does not have these ingredients, so you have to mix them in if the recipe calls for them. For recipes that call for all-purpose flour, and you are using self-rising flour, you can leave these ingredients out.

Self raising flour is just normal (plain) flour with a little baking powder added. You can make your own self raising flour by combining 6 cups of flour with 3 tablespoons of baking powder...
