Can I substitute Self Raising flour for (Plain flour + Baking powder or Baking Soda)?

Question

I have a recipe requiring all purpose flour + baking soda + baking powder. I want to use Self Raising Flour, but don't know which to substitute, the baking soda or the baking powder or both.

Answer 1

For every cup of plain flour add a teaspoon of baking powder. Baking powder is reactive when you add any liquid, baking soda needs an acid. That's why they use baking powder in self raising powder.

Answer 2

1 cup of self-rising flour is equal to 1 cup minus 2 tsp. all purpose flour and 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt
