Only use self-rising flour (aka self-raising) as a substitute for regular flour if the recipe gives instructions for doing so. Self-rising flour contains salt and leavening and cannot be used as a direct replacement in all recipes that call for plain flour.
Well once I made biscuits with regular flour and they were rock hard, so unless you want rocks instead of fluffy soft biscuits, then you can't use rugular flour instead of self-rising.
Yes it is. it already has leavening in it.
A different answer:
No, they are two different products. Cake flour is finely milled flour made from soft wheat. Some brands of cake flour have corn starch added. Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with added baking powder and salt.
No, it's not. Self-raising (self-raising) flour is flour with leavening agents (baking powder and salt) added to it.
Bread flour is ordinary flour (no leavening agents) with a high protein content.
Regular flour is NOT self rising. If you Don't add Yeast to make it rise, your recipe will turn out flat.
No it is not. Self rising flour has baking powder in it.
Self-rising flour has a leavener added to it. If you substitute regular flour add baking powder.
1 cup self rising = (1 cup regular flour - 1 tsp) + 1 tsp baking powder + pinch salt
Self rising flour contains baking soda [leavening agent]. To use it in place of plain flour, remove the yeast or baking powder or soda from the recipe.
no
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.
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.
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.
Well, it will work OK as regular flour, but I would not count on it rising.
Self rising flour is flour with baking powder and salt added to it. It is also finer, therefore it is good for baking because if you use regular flour you have to add the baking powder to it.
No! self rising flour has additives in it. ( salt and a leavening agent)
Self-rising flour has had baking powder and salt added to it. In the U.S., self-rising flour is made with (bleached or unbleached) white wheat flour, not yellow flour.
How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose? How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose?
Follow the recipe for the amount of baking powder to use whether your using regular flour or cake flour. Neither of them have baking powder, unless it is "self rising" which means leavening is included.
Self-rising flour is regular flour that has baking powder and and salt added so the answer is: Absolutely. I often use self rising flour when baking, as I use less ingredients that way. I have done them both ways, with no difference in quality, or taste. Enjoy your cookies!
250 gms of self raising flour make about 1 regular cup.
