i found powdered alum by Mccormick, the tiny bottle costs 2.87- expensive?
lily,
2.87 is not that bad, its about 3-4 bucks here.
Hi tt,
I was wondering if you use the powdered alum, or if you crush up your own? I bought some from the asian store where it looks like a giant piece of crystal, and it's labeled white alum, and I'm assuming you have to crush it yourself?
thanks
diddy,
I use powdered alum from the american grocery stores.
Spice Trend alum works just as good. I found it for $1.25 at the grocery store, right next to the McCormicks that was $3.89.
May I know what is alum? Where can I get it from. Thanks

I love your food blog..thanks for posting YCK. A friend of my gave me this recipe using 1 1/2 tbsp of Calumet Baking Powder, 3lbs flour, 2 cup of Milk & hot Tab Water, 1/2 tsp salt, sugar and veg oil.
Is it possible to use only all purpose flour? I could not find any wheat starch at all. There is wheat flour but I do not think they are the same.
Hello TT,
Can I substitute wheat flour for wheat starch to make "dau chao quay"?
