You can use plain flour with a teaspoon of baking powder.
no
No! self rising flour has additives in it. ( salt and a leavening agent)
I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose 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.
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.
Use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour, and you can leave out the baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
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.
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.
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.
Cake flour is a finer grained powder than all purpose. Self rising means it already has the baking powder added. All purpose may be used for either, but you would have to add baking powder, and the end product would not be quite as delicate.
You can substitute twice the amount of flour for the amount of cornstarch called for in most recipes. So you would use 6 tablespoons of flour, but use plain flour and not self rising.
Plain, pasta dough is not supposed to rise.
