A quote from the links is.. Is plain flour and all purpose flour the same thing? Difference between “All purpose Flour” “Plain Flour” and “Self Raising flour” ... The difference is not great it's only that in the Self-Raising Flour the is baking powder is already mixed in it ; and in the AP Flour ( normal maida) you have to mix it yourself. All purpose and Plain flour are one and same! It's all down to the baking powder???....so if you have plain flour give it a try??, but be prepared for the finished pastry to be "heavy" Ice.

sotv Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 This website may or may not be useful to use, I used it for Strong Flour for Bread Making and helped me work with the Protein content of the flour for the UK Equivalents of US Flour in recipes. This page list the protein content of US All Purpose Flour as 10-11.5% whereas UK Plain Flour is usually <10% Couple of examples here from Morrisons for different Flours they sell if you look at the Nutrition Values listed for them Homepride Plain Flour 9.73g per 100g Morrisons Organic Plain Flour 11.8g per 100g Not saying buy the Morrisons one, just look online at the different flours or the side of the bag in the shop and if you see the protein value in the 10-11.5 range you will be getting closer to American all purpose flour.

Justin Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I think it is helpful to refer to uk terms of plain, self raising, strong etc. Yes, not all flours are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
