Making your own self-rising flour takes about 15 minutes - it's a pretty easy recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, measure 6 cups of regular flour. Add 3 tablespoons of baking powder and 1 tablespoon of salt. Then, either sift together or mix with a whisk all of that until it's pretty well combined. Ouila! You can store it in an airtight container for months!
Your best option is to simply purchase self rising flour from your local grocery store. Self rising four already has salt and baking powder mixed within it. If you must create your own self rising flour you will need to add salt and baking powder. However, you will need to be prepared that your end product may not come out quite as nicely as if you had used the purchased product. For one cup of regular flour try adding 1.5 teaspoons of the baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Use a large bowl, and mix it in with a whisk. See if you like the end result.
Self-rising flour usually contains baking soda, baking powder, some stablaizers, and / or yeast in it. It is very difficult to transform regular flour into self-rising flour, so it is better just to buy the kind that you will be needing.
All-purpose flour is the type of flour used most often in cooking. If your recipe calls for 1 cup of self-rising flour and all you have on hand is all-purpose flour, simply mix together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of regular salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.

How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose? How can I tell if flour is self-rising or all purpose?
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.
Self-rising Flour
Self-rising flour has soda in it. All Purpose is basic flour, so you'd have to add soda to it. Cake Flour has been milled finer than the other two, so neither of these would make good cake flour.
Definitely not. All purpose flour is also called plain flour, If you are planning to substitute self raising flour for plain flour, put a teaspoon of baking powder in it as well. DONT substitute plain flour for self raising flour
not same
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.
No it is not. I was looking for a non self-rising cake flour and Softasilk does not contain salt or carbonate products to make it self rising.
Yes you can :)

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.
