Notes
Recipe inspired by: UK
Note 1: Want to use plain or all purpose flour instead of self raising? Use 300g plain/all purpose flour + 1.75 tsp bicarbonate of soda + 1 tbsp vinegar in this recipe. (Don’t add the additional 0.75 tsp bicarb and 1.5 tsp vinegar mentioned in the recipe.)
Note 2: Want to swap the bicarb for baking powder? Use 2.25 tsp of baking powder instead of 0.75 tsp of bicarbonate of soda in this recipe. You can omit the vinegar if you are using baking powder rather than bicarbonate of soda.
If you want to swap self raising flour for plain flour AND swap the bicarbonate of soda for baking powder you’ll need: 300g plain/all purpoes flour + 5.25 tsp baking powder. (Omit the bicarbonate of soda and the vinegar if you’re using this method).
Note 3: The stock must be cold otherwise the flour may start to soak it up and the batter won’t be a pourable consistency. I dissolve the stock cube in 100ml of boiling water and then top the jug up with 500ml of cold water which should make the stock cold ready to pour straight into the bowl.
Note 4: To make this recipe a ‘serves 2’ rather than a ‘serves 4’, simply 1/2 the ingredients and use a smaller baking dish that is approximately 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6”). Adjust the baking time to 30 minutes.
