Yep. The only difference is the wording. But self rising flour is completely different as is cake flour and bread flour. Be sure you are buying the appropriate one because it will make all the difference in your baking. Hope I helped!

Answer 7

All Purpose Flour is presifted;and plain flour is not.One thing to note is during shipment of All Purpose Flour it gets condensed again;and you guess it you have to sift it again.Also plain flour volume is actually greater since there is less air present from no being sifted.

Pretty much. Self-rising flour is different, though.

all purpose flour is already sifted. plain flour is not sifted at all.

No it is not. There is a difference even if it's slight. All purpose is pre-sifted and that make for a lighter fluffier batter.
