Plain Flour

Asked Jan 9, 2003, 10:38 PM — 3 Answers
In Australia, recipes either use plain flour or self raising flour.

I wish to use an American recipe. May plain flour be used in place of 'all purpose flour'?

Re: Plain Flour
Hi mil,

Yes, plain flour may be used in place of 'all purpose flour'. They're the same thing.

The only difference between plain flour/all purpose flour and self-raising flour, is that in the self-raising, is all-purpose flour plus 1½ teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour, so you don't have to make these additions---they're already incorporated for you.

Hope you're making something yummy! ;D
