I have a stupid question...

What's the difference between all-purpose and self-rising flour? I think self-rising flour has baking powder in it...??

If a recipe asks for all-purpose flour can I substitute it with self-rising? Should I not put in baking powder (cuz the recipe asks for baking powder). I only have all-purpose at home.

According to Hints from Heloise you can make self rising flour from all purpose flour as follows:

1 cup AP flour minus 2 tablespoons
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/8 tsp salt

This will make 1 cup of self rising flour.

You'll need to omit the baking powder, or at least some of it in the recipe. I think it also has salt already in it (self-rising), so yes, I think it could be substituted, with caution.
