If a recipe calls for self rising flour and I only have all purpose flour can I convert it for the recipe? What ingredients do I need to add to all purpose flour to make it self rising flour?

Changing all purpose flour into self rising flour is easy and quick to do. All you need is some salt and baking powder to add to your flour. If your recipe calls for one cup of self-rising flour, add 1 1/4 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to one cup of all purpose flour.
The difference between the two is that self-rising flour has leavening agents (baking powder) added to produce lighter baked products, especially when baking biscuits, breads, some cookies, etc.
If on the other hand, you only have self-rising flour and the recipe calls for all purpose flour, do not add any salt or baking powder called for in the recipe.
There is a great variety of flours used now in baking. All purpose, self-rising, cake or pastry flour, bread flour, whole wheat, and a number of different flours made from grains are available at grocery stores. A good reference site that goes into the specific types uses, substitutions, storing information, etc. is available at http://www.food.com/library/flour-64.
