I want to replicate an American recipe of Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins. It requires 1 cup of wheat flour.

What type of flour would that be in the UK shops?



Best Answer

What you are looking for is called wholemeal flour.

Here's a quick US to UK baking translation guide. US on the left, UK on the right:

  • All-purpose flour = plain flour
  • bread flour = strong flour (both have extra gluten)
  • whole wheat flour = wholemeal flour
  • 1 stick of butter is 113g (get a scale, trust me)
  • 1 large egg = 1 medium egg
