what is an all purpose flour, can i use a self-raisin flour instead or plain flour?

All purpose flour is a medium protein white flour used for most baking and cooking purposes, known as plain flour in some places. Bread flour is a higher protein flour with a higher gluten content, used for breads and bread products, also known as strong plain flour. Cake flour is the lowest protein and lowest gluten flour of all commercially produced flours. Self-rising flour is nothing more than all-purpose/plain flour with salt and baking soda added. It can be substituted for all-purpose/plain flour in some recipes, if the recipe calls for salt and soda to be added in. In a regular cake it would be okay, but not for finer cakes like Angel Food, and not for a pastry for a pie or tart. You can use it for dredging or coating food prior to frying, but the soda can leave a slight chemical taste in the food. If your cake or recipe doesn't have an acidic liquid like buttermilk or yogurt to activate and neutralize the soda, you can also note a slight bitter taste in the final product.
