Subject: Self- rising flour

I needed some today for a recipe and I had to buy a whole 5-lb bag. I've only ever had the general purpose stuff before. Can I use them interchangeably?

I had no idea they even made flour anymore that wasn't self rising. hehe. But here's what I found online:

Flours~

US & UK all purpose and plain flour can be interchanged without any adjustments. US cake flour is lighter however, and can be substituted with 1 cup minus 3 Tbsp. of all purpose/plain flour, and add 3 Tbsp. of cornstarch or potato flour to make the full cup. Self rising flour can be made by substituting 1 cup of all purpose/plain flour minus 2 tsp., and add 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt to make the full cup.

I saw a couple of good recipes yesterday that called for cake flour. I was saying to myself "Cake flour? I never buy cake flour! Forget it!" LOL!
