Anything that you can do with any flour inc baking, you can make it into Self Raising Flour easily. To make self-raising flour, add 1tsp of baking power to 200g / 8oz plain flour.

To make baking powder if you have bicarb and cream of tartar, place 3 teaspoons of bicarbonate of soda with 4 teaspoons of cream of tartar in a jam jar and shake well.

Pancakes and other similar batters like yorkshire puddings usually state plain flour. Some biscuits aswell.
