The flour is the same amount. The adjustment is in the leavening agent. In most things, you should be able to leave it out if you use self rising. If you look at most recipes, it takes 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup of flour. This varies somewhat, but it should get you close.

You should use regular, all purpose flour. Self rising flour has leavener mixed in, so unless the receipe calls specifically for self rising, stick to good ole all purpose.
