Only have self rising flour, recipe calls for all-purpose, what do I do?

Question

I'm making banana choco chip bars and the recipe calls for all-pupose flour, but I accidentally got self-rising flour. Can I still use that? I can't get to a store and my friend isn't home to borrow some. What can I do? Here is my recipe...
2 c flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 3/4 c butter, 2/3 c sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 bananas mashed, 1 egg, 2 c choc chips, 2 TBS powdered sugar for top.
Can I add or delete something to make this turn out right? Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

This is from a substitution chart.

1 cup self rising = similar grade flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder plus 1/4 teaspoon salt

I would reverse it by leaving out all the baking powder and salt.

Answer 2

All purpose flour means it already has some type of rising agent in it. So if you have a recipe that calls just for 'flour' that means that somewhere in the recipe it might ask for some other type of rising agent like baking powder, or baking soda. So make sure your flour doesn't contain those ingredients before you add extra

Answer 3

1 cup self-rising flour = 1 cup of flour (minus 2 tsp), 1/2 tsp salt and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

You can use the self rising flour, just omit the salt and baking powder from the recipe.

Answer 6

I've used self-rising in place of all-purpose in the past and it turned out just fine. It might be a little extra fluffy -- but should taste fine.

Answer 7

I think it should be fine....you can use self rising in place of all purpose. Your bars will be nice and tall.
You cannot use all purpose for self rising though. It will be a flat mush!

Answer 8

i cook all the time and i dont always have the same flour that the recipe calls for and i mix and match pretty much just dont let you dough get to warm and you should do fine.

Answer 9
