Self-rising flour is a convenience product made by adding salt and leavening to all-purpose flour. Self rising flour provides a great convenience for house hold use. Their use saves time and energy to eliminate the hardships of measuring out and provide desirable quality to product.
It's best for tender biscuits, muffins, pancakes and some cakes. Self-rising flour is best stored tightly wrapped in its original box and used within six months of purchase — longer than that and the baking powder in it begins to lose its oomph.
Self rising flour contains bicarbonate, together with an acid ingredient, when made into a dough and baked, CO2 is generated which causes dough aeration and development. Self-rising can be substituted for all-purpose flour by reducing salt and baking powder according to these proportions.
