To substitute self-rising for all-purpose flour, most of the recipes that call for this are biscuits, pancakes and cornbreads (quick style breads).
Self-rising flour is a type of flour that includes leavening agents, that enhance your baked goods so no additional leavening agents needs to be added.
Do not use self-rising flour if yourmaking yeast-raised bread.
Self-rising flour does not contain baking soda so if you are using self-rising flour and the recipe calls for baking soda be sure to add it
As a general rule, you probably do not want to use self-rising flour if there is only baking soda in the recipe and not baking powder, however the flour in pancakes with the addition of baking soda comes out perfectly see recipe below.
