The word is or should be Self-Raising.
It is the difference between a Transitive and Intransitive verb.
Self rasing flour contains Baking Powder which is a mixture of Bicarbonate of Soda and Cream of Tartar. When wet, the mixture produces carbon dioxide gas which makes the RISE. However as the ingredients are contained in the flour it appears to RAISE itself.
I am not sure but I would think that 'Pastry Flour' would not have these ingredients when sold, so therefore would not rise.
