Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour for cinn-rolls?

Question

I have alittle all-purpose left & a bag of self-rising.

We made cookies over the weekend and they all ended up really really flat...did we over mix them??? We used a kitchen-made mixer for about all of them & none really took form. We used all purpose flour mainly.

Answer 1

I wouldn't use it. If you do, you may want to leave out some of the yeast. About your cookies, the mixer had nothing to do with it. I never hand mix cookies, I always use a mixer. It sounds more like you didn't add enough flour. Humidity and barometric pressure have a lot to do with results of baking. Sometimes it takes more flour, some times not as much. It takes lots of practice to know how your doughs are going to react.

Answer 2

If the recipe calls for self rising flour you can not substitute all purpose flour unless you add the proper levening ingredients. The rule of thumb is 1 to 1½ teaspoon baking powder a pinch to ½ teaspoon salt for every cup of flour. However, if the recipe calls for all purpose flour and you can use self rising flour but you must omit the baking powder and salt because the self rising flour already has these in it. Also, mixers tend to over process the ingredients in cookies and they won't turn out as good as if you mix by hand.

Answer 3

Self-rising flour has baking soda, baking powder and salt added, but you don't know in what amounts or proportions. Using it instead of all-purpose or even pastry flour will badly screw up your results.

Put off this batch of baking until tomorrow, when you can get another bag of all-purpose flour.

Answer 4

you can sub flour for flour.

You can use self-rising flour in yeast bread recipes, but you'll need to omit the salt.

If you use self-rising flour as a substitute for all-purpose flour in a quick bread, omit salt and baking powder.

Good luck with your Cinnamon Rolls!

Answer 5

flour is good but did you use baking soda or baking powder that is what makes a cookie rise.
Self rising flour allready has that init so you should try again.

Answer 6

All-purpose flour should be sifted anyway, so it's ok to use self-rising flour.

Answer 7

My question is---can I use self rising instead of all purpose to make gravy

Answer 8

No. It has leavening in it (baking soda or baking powder). It will mess up your cinn-rolls.

Answer 9

yae just dont use the yeast
