Post a CommentI remember thinking the same as Vincent, but in reverse when I moved to America. Food is just labelled differently in different countries. Sometimes, it really is unavailable, but at other times, many foods go by different names.

The ingredients dont have to be followed exactly, the Bicarbonate of soda, is sodium bicarbonate, close to baking powder. Caster sugar is fine white sugar, the self raising flour if you use flour and add baking powder this will allow the mix to rise during baking. The cream, use whipping or thick pouring cream (not aerosol), and the muscovado sugar use a brown sugar.
Hope this helps.
These sound good, but I'm not sure the ingredients are to be found here in the U.S. In fact, I've never heard of them - but who am I? ":O>)
This dish is a great british favorite (pudding).
This sounds delicious!
