Retha_hhr Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Can you guys use your South African recipes in australia and it comes out just as it would have in SA? I have a big problem here in Canada. Their flour is an all-purpose flour, so not as fine as Snowflake or what that flour was called (can't even remember anymore) and the sugar is not cane sugar. It is a finer sugar and not so sweet. The other day I made a Roly-Poly and it didn't even taste the same, and it has to do with the flour and the sugar. It frustrates me so much that I do not bake often anymore.Regards,Retha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi Retha,I know how you feel. I had a lemon cake recipe that I literally made every week in SA and it turned out perfectly every time, I just can't get the same result here. I found the flour was different, not as white and was told by the main flour producers here that their flour was healthier than SA as it was less refined! which was all fine but what about my cake! I was also now using a fan oven which is also different as I learned that with some cakes you must not preheat the oven, our sugar is beet sugar but I did not even think about that! I have found flour at Aldi and Lidl (don't know if you have them there?) and they have a flour that is more like our snowflake. I have tried everything and still cant get it right. Even been told it might be the altitude as we are now at sea level in Ireland as opposed to JHB which is high above sea level???Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hi JenIf you are using a fan forced oven as opposed to just a normal oven in SA, then lower your recipe's temperature by at least 10 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks Mara, should you also adjust your baking time down as well?jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedrei Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I thought I was crazy. Yes I have definitely experienced the same thing about the flower, just doens't taste the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My arme diet gaan nooit langer hou as 'n dag nie! http://www.rainbowcooking.co.nz/a/coursesThanks a ton for the website. My 8 year old son must do a traditional food for show and tell next week.

Michele R Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 DO your bit and save an african -send me some PLEASE!!!! Ja ek stem saam! Luckily my mom came to visit me over the weekend. I don't like hot cross buns (I know, it's a sin according to hubby, but he can't wipe off his smug smile when we buy them at Woolworths(the SA one) and he knows they're all his), so she brought me some koeksusters. Hmmmm yummy. Sadly they've now all migrated to my hips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
