Re: Flour ?
Yorkshire Pudding, the mix here is so different from the one I used at home so here is what I find works in Canada..
I make up a double quantity as there are 6 of us and we get through a lot this will make 24 muffin tin ones or one large roast tin, but if you need less just cut everything in half.
230 grams of All Purpose flour
pinch salt
6 Eggs
16 oz Water (do Not use Milk)
Put in Blender and whiz away
This is best made and hour or more before you want to use it but if in a rush it will be fine used straight away,if made early just give it another quick whiz before using.
I just spray the pans with pam and it works fine no need to use tons of oil if you are trying to be health conscious pop in oven to get nice and hot then pour in Batter.
Pre heat oven at 400 - 420 until risen and golden,about 15 - 20 mins for the small ones and about 30 - 35 mins the Large but it could vary slightly.
I hope you all have great success with this I never fail using this recipe so good luck and let me know how you get on.

Re: Flour ?
Peronally, I have found that flour is not the issue; the knack to really good yorkshires is VERY HOT OIL.

Re: Flour ?
so glad to find this thread about flour!
since we arrived here all i did was the quick just add an egg mixture(children love baking but with baby i could not pluck up the courage to do a proper cake!!!)
last week i felt very braveand went to purchase all the needed ingredients
but could not find any self raising flour so i thought may be it was me getting confused with flour(we ended up making chocolate rice crispies!!!)
so i have not lost it! others do have problem with flour
what would you use for a simple sponge cake?
all purpose flour with baking powder?
cakes flour only?
thank you!

Re: Flour ?
Self raising is not as popular here, but it is available. For example there is no "no name" self raising, but there is a "Brodie" one in smaller packets at our local supermarket. Its a blue and white pack..actually the same company as "Robin Hood" I understand.
If they have sold out, places like "The Bulk Barn" always have it, along with most everything else that I cant find elsewhere, like whole nutmegs and chick pea flour for bhajis.
If all else fails add the appropriate amount of paking powder / salt to A-P flour..I think its something like 3 teaspoons to a cup of flour and a pinch of salt..but could be wrong.
