Self-rising flour is a type of flour that contains a leavening agent, typically baking powder, and salt already mixed in. When used in recipes, the baking powder activates when it comes into contact with liquid and heat, producing carbon dioxide gas that helps the dough or batter rise. This eliminates the need for additional leavening agents, making it convenient for quick baking. It’s commonly used in recipes for biscuits, pancakes, and certain types of cakes.
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.

yes, Bisquik is a brand name self rising flour, with shortening added. If you substitute it using self rising flour add 1 tablespoon butter or oil for every cup of flour. Sounds like a lot of fat to me but that is the recommendation.
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.
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.
