How do i use up 4.5kg of plain flour- DH fail!

[Arrowfanatic]

Sent DH out to get strong white flour for bread making, he came back with plain flour.

I only use it for a roux sauce and occassional biscuit baking.

How am i going to use all this up!

Play dough

We often have a crumble on a Sunday and get through quite a lot of plain flour.

Mix with water and fill balloons to make stress balls. Draw on a funny face too if you like.

Cake???? And cupcakes??? And crumbles??? And pastry/pies????

Salt dough and make a load of Xmas decorations

Apple crumble.

9 batches of Cornish pasties?

Pancakes, pizza, muffins (sweet and savoury) and cookies.

Pancakes and Yorkshire puddings!!

Scotch pancakes

apple sauce cake (my freezer is full of apples & pears - I have given them away made savouries ...)

Just add baking powder to it to make SF flour.

& flans (with pears...& walnuts ...& blue cheese - fixated on apples & pears)

8000 cheese straws .

Crumbles! A crumble every week until it runs out.

Quick breads & muffins like banana bread, blueberry muffins, spice loaf, zucchini bread, corn bread, cranberry muffins, lemon poppyseed, etc.

Chocolate chip cookies....any kind of cookie really

Any pastry...not just pies but quiches.

Any cake- chocolate, angel food, lemon, pineapple upside down, pecan, carrot, yellow, coffee, etc

Homemade pasta & noodles

I use 500g in one batch of scones.
And 1.5kg to make 3 lots of pastry for sausage rolls.
We bake a lot and this amount of flour (although it’s lots) wouldn’t really last too long at our house!

I will swap. I asked my son to get plain flour yesterday he came back with bread flour

American/Japanese pancakes
Cake?
Crepes
Dumplings
Pasta - maybe lasagne?
Pastry - for pies, pasties
Toad in the hole
To make béchamel/mornay sauce
Shortbread

Scones
Yorkshire puddings

Messy play

Nigella's snow flecked brownies

Make pastry and freeze? Breakfast pancakes. I’ve added bicarbonate and baking soda in the past to make self raising and it’s fine.

Make naan from it by adding yoghurt, salt, oil, leaving it to rise for an hour, rolling out individual portions, and cooking them in a pan. If you roll them evenly then they’ll rise.

Keep it til next July then give it to your children for the end of the school year .

Rather sadly I did a test a few years ago, 3 types of plain flour, cheapest, normal and strong, all kneaded and baked in exactly the same way. The cheapest was a bit flat but tasted fine, there wasn't much in it between normal and strong, both were fine, strong was just a bit nicer.
