ReplyDeletei found powdered alum by Mccormick, the tiny bottle costs 2.87- expensive?
lily,
ReplyDelete2.87 is not that bad, its about 3-4 bucks here.
Hi tt,
ReplyDeleteI 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,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteMay 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.
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
ReplyDeleteHello TT,
ReplyDeleteCan I substitute wheat flour for wheat starch to make "dau chao quay"?
