How Much Flour Is Too Much Flour To Ask Your Neighbor For

Cookies taste too much like flour?

Simply my cookies tasted like flour and obviously it's because I added too much flour, but I had to because the cookie dough was really "mooshy" and sticky. Figured it wasn't right so I added more flour til it was like dough should be. So how can this be? Should I stick to the recipe and never experiment again???? Please help! Here are the details.


Experimenting with baking and its my first time doing it with cookies. I found a recipe that came out very well.

Here is the original recipe:

4 1/2 Cups of All-Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoons of Baking Soda
2 Cups of Butter, softened
1 1/2 Cup of Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup of White Sugar
2 Pkgs (3.4 ounces) of Instant Vanilla Pudding mix
4 Eggs
2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
4 Cups of Chocolate Chips


Now being the sugar sweet freak that I am, I changed these things:

**6 Cups of All-Purpose Flour (Originally 4 1/2 Cups)
1 3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar (Originally 1 1/2 Cup)
3/4 Cup White Sugar (Originally 1/2 Cup)
5 Ounces of Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix (Originally 3.4 Ounces)
3 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract (Originally 2 Teaspoons)

**Added the extra flour after the dough being too sticky and "mooshy"**

American cakes are sweet. Seriously, way sweet. High-ratio cakes (where the weight of sugar is equal to or higher than the flour) are wonderfully moist and tender, but yes, very sweet to any palate not accustomed to American sugar bombs. To many Americans, the traditional recipes are tough, dry, and tasteless.When following American recipes (any new recipe, actually) it’s best to use the original measuring method and adjusting on future runs. Flour measured by volume varies greatly, so the baker who lists ‘1 cup flour’ could be using anywhere from 100 grams to 170! I just checked this, sifting the first run, pouring it gently into the measuring cup and ‘eyeballing’ it to approximately full. The heavier cup was as much flour as I could smash in. I’ve seen bakers use both methods. No wonder baking has such a reputation over here!Even having grown up with volume measured cakes, I prefer to use recipes that were written in grams to begin with.

I offer these simple baking options for day to day home cooking. If you want something fancy, I'm not the girl to ask!For cookies, muffins, quick breads and some cakes, I use Bob's Red Mill gluten free oat flour. This is an “all purpose flour ” as opposed to “self rising flour,” which would be already leavened with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.I follow the “normal” recipe from my 1976 Betty Crocker Cookbook. I add baking soda or baking powder and salt to the bowl as the recipe directs.I add 1 packet of unflavored gelatin to recipes for cake or breadlike texture. This keeps cakes fabulously, densely moist for at least 4 days. My family cannot scientifically attest to the freshness of cake over 4 days old.I often add an extra egg or two, which adds protein and produces a bit of extra rising.For a lighter flour, blend oat with naturally sweet coconut flour, or oat and tapioca flour. 50% of each works well.Rice flour is terribly dry in baking.You can use corn starch to make gravy, or to coat chicken breast fillets or other meats you plan to fry or oven fry.Notes on creating a list of ingredients that cause you pain:Most “gluten free” baking mixes or recipes contain or call for the addition of xanthan gum, which mimics gluten in texture, crispiness or chewyness. However, xanthan gum is an ingredient which causes some people digestive distress or other “glutenized” symptoms.Bob's Red Mill's xanthan gum is cultivated on wheat rather than corn, both of which are “supposed” to be gluten free. It gives me all the flu like symptons gluten does… fever, aching joints and sore muscles, puffy eyes and a “slappped face.” Some people report bloating or other digestive problems.As you try new ingredients, be aware that some foods others may enjoy might not be the best for you. Mine are white rice in any form, xanthan gum and aluminum blue dyes. I figured this out by trial and error, and I feel SO much better avoiding them.

My fried chicken has too much of a flour taste, what might I be doing wrong?

If you're double dipping your chicken, then the flour mixture might not be cooked long enough or at a high enough temperature. Try dipping your chicken in a seasoned flour mix, then the egg mixture (with hot sauce), and then seasoned panko bread crumbs (mix with parmesan). Let sit for a few minutes while oil is heating. Make sure its hot enough and put in a few pieces at a time. Too many pieces will cool the oil down too much and you need to keep it at an even temp. When golden brown, check internal temp to make sure its cooked through. Drain and enjoy.

Yes. Plain flour as it is known in places like Australia. All-purpose flour as it is known in places like the USA, The Philippines.So when you are reading recipes you can translate this one as is.Note that some people will also try and tell you that all-purpose is good for bread, good for biscuits/cookies, etc. All-purpose is not that all purpose. Hence why it is better termed “plain” flour. Use bread flour for bread (hard wheat flour with a higher protein content), use cake flour for some biscuits/cookies(lower protein content).Note also that self-raising flour, which is common in Australia, is unheard of in other parts of the world. So don’t mistake self-raising flour for plain/all-purpose flour. You will get quite a different result. But you can make your own self-raising flour. Approx 15g of baking powder (yes powder, not baking soda) to 300g plain (all-purpose) flour. Depending on the recipe, a pinch of salt if it is quite a sweet cake.

How much all purpose flour to cake flour?

1 cup of all purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons (1c – 2tbsp) is equivalent to 1 cup of cake flour.
So, 1-1/4 cup of AP flour minus 2-1/2 Tbsp.

My cake recipe calls for 2 cups flour. How much cake flour shoud I substitute for the 2 cups flour?

The instructions should be on the side or back of the box, but generally - 1 cup of cake flour if the same as a cup of all purpose flour minus about 1 tablespoon of flour. The cake flour is the same as if you took all purpose flour and sifted it 3 or 4 times to make it very fine and smooth - that is the only difference. It just saves you the time of sifting it yourself. So the all purpose flour wouldn't lose that much in the sifting process. If you have a regular recipe that calls for regular flour - just measure out the same and remove 1 tablespoon of the cake flour you are substituting for the regular flour for each cup you use.

Why would a cake or a pizza have a really strong flour taste? I want to avoid this when cooking.?

adding too much flour, not kneading the flour enough into the dough-dont overknead if thats the case- it might not have been evenly distributed, you didn't cook the dough 3/4 of the way before putting it in again with the rest of the ingrediants, you undercooked it... there are a number of reasons, look at a pofessional pizza dough/cake batter recipe and compare it to the one you used... with a cake you might not have mixed it enough- again don't overmix- too much flour, too little of other ingrediants...

best of luck
