Anyone know what UK equivalent of all purpose flour is?

[notsoteenagemum]

Want to make apple muffins only have American recipe anyone?

[beansprout]

I think I used the same recipe last week! Used sr wholemeal and they turned out ok. Ish!

[notsoteenagemum]

Don't have enough s/r wholemeal do you think I can use s/r then? Did the apple cook ok?

[SoupDragon]

I thought all purpose was plain flour.

[SoupDragon]

what quantities of baking powder and baking soda does the recipe have?

[BecauseImWorthIt]

I would have said plain flour as well

[SoupDragon]

Mind you, I don't think it would ever be a problem using SR instead of plain but it wouldn't work the other way round without adding baking powder.

[Tigerschick]

I would assume plain flour as it is more 'all purpose' than S/R ... but I'm not certain about this!

[notsoteenagemum]

No baking poder or soda thats why was thinking s/r

[Freckle]

Another vote for plain flour here too. You can always add baking powder to plain, but you can't remove it from s/r, which makes plain flour all purpose.

[SoupDragon]

If there's no baking powder, it has to mean SR.

I'm still sure that all purpose is plain though

[Tigerschick]

According to Wiki it's plain flour ... I'd add a bit of baking powder tho or they won't rise.

[MascaraOHara]

no it's plain..

most muffin recipes use plain

[notsoteenagemum]

so shall I make them with plain muffins don't rise much anyway do they or do I just make flat ass muffins.

[SoupDragon]

Most muffin recipes use plain flour and baking powder though, mascara! Muffins do rise so the bulge out over the top of the cake case (hence the term "muffin top")

[SoupDragon]

the apple spice muffin recipe in my book has 9oz plain flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder

[notsoteenagemum]

Mine just dome a bit really depending on the recipe
this one is 2 cups all/purp flour
1/4 cup white (assuming castor) sugar
cinnamon
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup apple

Plain flour - one of the few transatlantic conversions that I am sure of

[Bluebutterfly]
