Self-Rising Flour & Buttermilk Substitute

Some recipes require self rising flour and buttermilk.  When it comes to "not every day ingredients" like these two, you might not store them in your kitchen. So you have to postpone or plan your cooking or baking time, until you can provide them.

Actually you can make substitutes for these "special ingredients" by combining your every day ingredients.
