    Self rising flour
    Mostly we use all purpose flour. My wife made some donuts, did not add
    Any spices, yet the donuts came out very salty, had to throw them out.
    I also tried to make gravy did not use any spices, but the gravy was
    Very salty too.

    What is it with this flour, I know it has baking powder/soda
    But why is it so salty?

    Self-rising flour is a short cut for bakers. It has added salt and baking powder.

    Plain All-purpose flour is straight flour.
