What type of flour is "wheat flour" in the UK?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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
