james.d Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I finally got some Atora suet from the UK as friends visited. However I cannot find self raising flour near me in Sai-Mai BKk. I tried Foodland, big Tesco superstore, big C, Villa (smallish one on Ramintra) and local bakery supplier near my market...all to no avail. Has anyone seen it downtown? Sorry I do not want to start adding baking powder etc as l only have 1 box. Desperate to make mince n dumplings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgdanson Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Don't understand you NOT wanting to add a couple of teaspoons of baking powder to your plain flour. Much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Self-raising flour, many brands local and imported available in many supermarkets across Thailand for decades at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Muton Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 They call it cake flour here, American names, "plain flour" = "all purpose flour". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyenyen Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Short fuse.....Typical symptom of someone suffering from acute suet dumpling withdrawal. As I understand it, cake flour just has a higher protein content. It would still need baking powder to make it self raising. I've never seen self raising flour over here. Just add some baking powder. Around 1 teaspoon to 1 cup of flour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riojasue Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Baking powder is readily available even up here in Khon Kaen. I just was it to plain or all purpose flour when I can’t get self raising. Just bought a big tub of baking powder for 39 baht.

tutsiwarrior Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 what makes 'bread flour' different than 'all purpose' flour? I found some thus labelled at my local makro the other day...all the other info on the bag was in thai...any leavening included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
