      <content>Self-rising flour is flour with a leavening agent mixed in (usually baking powder).  The baking soda in the powder can age and become ineffective.  To test if it's still good put some into a bit of warm water, if it fizzes it's still good.  If it doesn't fizz, it can still be used as flour for breading.</content>
