flour ???

[perplexed]

Is there a difference in all purpose flour and self rising???

If a recipe calls for all purpose do you need baking powder?????


also if I substitute the all purpose for self rising do I still need salt too???

Thanks!!

Self Rising flour has salt and baking powder already added. If you are using self rising in place of all purpose in a recipe you omit the baking powder and salt.

If you are using all purpose for self rising you will have to add baking powder and salt. I don't really know in want amount because the self rising already has it so the recipe won't tell you what you would need if not using self rising.

Self rising flour can be made by substituting 1 cup of all purpose flour minus 2 tsp, with the addition of 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to make the full cup.

I got this from a website for you:)
