Out of cornstarch == 1 tablespoon cornstarch..... use 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
Out of self rising flour.....make your own
1 cup of self rising flour......... you will need 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
You go to the store and get some. Other than yeast, there is no substitute for these ingredients to make things rise.
A different answer:
What you can do depends on the recipe. Some cakes use the air in beaten egg whites to "lift" the batter, but these cakes tend to be delicate and require some skill in baking. Similarly, there are a number of cookies such as meringues that use only egg whites for loft. There are other cookies or "confections" that do not use any leavening. Shortbread and stove-top chocolate drop cookies are two examples. In the bread category, it is possible to make a "sponge" of only flour, sugar and water, then allow that to sit in the open air to make a starter for sour dough. Otherwise, you are left to make some sort of flat bread or unleavened bread such as matzoh.
Don't put the baking powder in. With biscuits, it is not critical if you did, they might raise more and have a slight metallic taste, but that's all.
