    Does this even exist in Germany..?

    Ich weiß nicht, ob man das in Deutschland kaufen kann, aber es ist ganz einfach normales Mehl, das schon mit Backpulver vermischt ist - also nicht zum Spätzlemachen verwenden!

    I don't think you can get it here. My dictionary calls it "selbsttreibend" but that gets only 11 Google hits, and is probably more an explanation than a translation.

    Ich kenne das nur aus Großbritannien. Bei uns gibt es Brotbackmischungen oder Backmischungen für Kuchen. Die enthalten aber mehr als Mehl und Backpulver. Mehl und Backpulver muss man bei uns in D separat kaufen.
    Ich würde sagen, das ist ein klassischer Fall für eine Umschreibung oder eine Anmerkung d. Übs.

    Hier in AUS gibt es "self-raising flour" (also normales Mehl mit Backpulver), dann gibt es "plain flour", das ist dann nur Mehl, dann gibt es "bread mix" das hat dann noch alles Mögliche drin und dann eben Fertigpackungen für Kuchen. Und corn flour ist dann sowas wie Mondamin(?) - Stärkemehl. Ich kaufe nie "self-raising flour", sondern mische eben das Backpulver rein, wenn ich es brauche.

    I´ve seen self-raising flour in the English shop in Stuttgart, but never in a German supermarket ! Fresh yeast works for me !!

    I don't think that self-raising flour has anything to do with yeast - it is just baking powder mixed into flour. A yeast dough is different.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_raising_flour:
    Self-rising or self-raising flour is "white" wheat flour that is sold premixed with chemical leavening agents. It was invented by Henry Jones. It can also be substituted by Maida when cooking under the Indian Cusine. Typical ratios are:

    U.S. customary:

    one cup flour
    1 to 1½ teaspoon baking powder
    a pinch to ½ teaspoon salt

    Metric:

    100 g flour
    3 g baking powder
    1 g or less salt

    so this confirms what I had in mind - and was already said here: self raising (self rising in BE ?) does have baking powder as an added ingredient.

    No yeast added (that would dry yeast then right ?)

    and no this does not exist over here in Germany when you count pre-packed ready-to-mix cake preparations out (http://www.oetker.de/wga/oetker/html/frameset...).

    Dry yeats would not do anything as, presumably, you would not give it time to work.
    Other raising agents work with the heat and humidity: the stuff decomposes and releases CO2 (mostly).
    Yeast eats the sugar or other carbohydrates and releases also CO2, but this process takes some time as the yeats has to multiply first.

    @Der Chef 2: it's "self-raising flour" in BE.
