Sounds lovely but by All Purpose Flour do you mean Plain Flour or Self Raising Flour? If Plain, then can I use SR and omit the baking soda (by which, do you mean Baking Powder or Bicarbonate of Soda?) Sorry to be a nitpicker... I get anxious over recipes I don't fully understand!
Not nitpicky at all, I totally get it (I also spiral into existential doubt when a recipe just says “butter” with no further instruction).
Yes, by “all-purpose flour” I mean plain flour, and by “baking soda” I mean bicarbonate of soda - not baking powder.
You can technically use self-raising flour and leave out the bicarb, but it won’t have quite the same richness or texture. The bicarb interacts with the vinegar and molasses for that lovely, slightly sticky depth Malva is known for - so I’d recommend sticking with plain flour and bicarb if you can!
Thank you so much - that all makes sense! I will now have to adjust a bit as it has to be GF, but you get used to converting - I think my husband would love it.

Hope that helps,

Hi, quick query: are your spoonfuls level, rounded or heaped? Thx!
Hi Sue,
They’re level spoons 🐻
