No. Cornflour is made from corn and does not rise. It's used for different reasons than self raising flour which is wheat flour with bicarb already added. Be aware with cornflour that it can also be wheat flour if it says wheaten cornflour. That concept baffles me.
Can you use gluten free flour instead of self raising flour?
Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
