lannaman Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have just got into doing my own baking and I'm a bit mistified by what flour to buy. In BigC in Chiang Rai they have Cake Flour and All Purpose Flour, are either of these self raising??? If not then I should add Baking Powder 1 tbsp to I cup. I don't want to do this if the flour contains a raising agent already. I haven't seen the self raising label on any packets. Maybe problem as all the writing is in Thai. Please advise me somebody.

Darrel Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I would guess that the cake flour is self-raising and all-purpose is not. Why not make one muffin and see? You would also need strong flour for bread-making. Proper bread-making anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the same as Pattaya then neither of them are self raising, I used to use the cake flour to make my self raising with the addition of baking powder. I can now buy both Aussie and UK self raising in Friendship in Pattaya. RabC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterisbetter Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 My wife owns a bakery and we've run through pretty much all the flours available here. Neither of the flours you mention is self raising. Unless a flour explicitly says it's self raising (or rising) it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
