can i use self-rising flour as a substitute for all purpose flour?

Question

im stuck with lots of self-rising flour and i dont wanna buy flour unless i finished it...and looking for recipes with self-rising flour is a bit hard to find

Answer 1

1 cup All Purpose flour = 1 cup self-rising flour (omit baking powder and salt from recipe)

Answer 2

Akasha, Generally speaking, yes, but first you must consider the recipe and the difference between all-purpose and self-rising flours. All-purpose is just "flour", and self-rising also contains baking powder (or soda) and salt. So-- in a recipe where no soda, salt or baking powder is needed; you would not want to use self-rising flour. Exception: gravy--you can use either flour to make gravy! Hope this helps. Dona

Answer 3

i use self raising flour 99% of the time. It is the main flour used in Australia. Here is a great recipe

chocolate cake Makes 2 in circle tins

2 cups of s.r flour
2 cups sugar
1 tlbs cocoa
1 cup milk
30 gr melted butter
2 eggs
Mix all ingredients and bake 180 Celsius for 40 min or till knife comes out clean. Cool then ice

Answer 4

You can't use it as a direct substitute, but you can use it in recipes which call for both all-purpose flour and baking powder - just leave out the baking powder.

Answer 5

just finish it and dont buy it anymore

use recipes with baking powder

you cant use both in the same recipe especially for cakes

a way to use self raising flour can be to make crepes
or pancakes if they get thick it doesnt matter
or batter for fish or coating other things

Answer 6

if you use it for cakes and pies just add half all purpose and half self rising
you can also in baking with egg as an ingredient u
e one less egg for every 4 needed
or you can donate it to the needy
have a nice day

Answer 7

Yes, just realize that it is going to rise as if you added baking powder. Adjust accordingly.

Answer 8
