Is there a substitution for "self-rising" flour or do I have to buy a package for a new recipe?

No need to purchase a whole package of self-rising flour when only a cup or two is needed. Turn all-purpose flour into one cup of self-rising flour by adding 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to one cup all-purpose flour.
