FAQs
Yes, it is! All-purpose is the term widely used in America, while in the UK and Australia, we refer to it as plain flour. Plain (all purpose) flour doesn't contain any rising agent as self-raising flour does!

I made these last night. The mix looked quite dry. Is this normal? I added a splash of milk. They turned out beautiful and fudgy with that hit of Nutella being unmistakable. Thanks Lucy 🙂
