You can use plain flour with a teaspoon of baking powder.
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.
Self raising flour has the salt and baking powder included. Plain flour does not.Self rising flour is a combination of flour, baking powder, and a little salt. It's not just flour.
No, self-rising flour cannot be converted back into all-purpose flour. Salt and a leavening agent, usually baking powder, are added to regular flour to make self-rising flour, and cannot be removed by any practical method.
There is no difference between plain flour and all-purpose flour. They are one and the same. All-purpose (plain) flour does not contain the salt and baking soda that self-rising flour has.
Definitely not. All purpose flour is also called plain flour, If you are planning to substitute self raising flour for plain flour, put a teaspoon of baking powder in it as well. DONT substitute plain flour for self raising flour
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.
If you were baking a cake: Self-Raising Flour - would make it rise Plain Flour - wouldn't make it rise People use self-raising in cakes to make them bigger, but they use plain in pancakes so it keeps it thin.
you add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to every cup of plain flour
When using plain (regular) flour and the recipe calls for self-raising flour you must add a good teaspoon of baking powder to the flour. That will turn plain flour into self-raising flour.
Yes, you can use self rising flour to bake a cake. Just leave out any baking soda, baking powder or salt called for in the recipe, as these are already included in self rising flour.
Regular flour and self rising measure the same. You have to add either baking powder or baking soda to regular flour. If the recipe has yeast in it, you have to use regular flour.
