Double, heavy, pure cream? Helen Goh's guide to baking across borders – plus a finger bun recipe

I remember when baking was so much simpler... back in the day, you'd just follow a recipe and hope for the best. Now, it's all about understanding international measurements and ingredient differences. I mean, who knew that Australian "plain flour" is basically the same as American "all-purpose" flour? It's crazy how much can change from one country to another. And don't even get me started on cream - in Australia, double cream is like a specialty item! 🤣

It's so important for bakers to research and test recipes before sharing them with others. I've been there too, making a cake sandwiched with whipped cream that turned into clotted cream after just a few turns of the whisk... yeah, not pretty 😂.

But seriously, Helen Goh's recipe for strawberry iced finger buns sounds amazing! The method of boiling the milk to create a softer bread is genius. And I love how she emphasizes the importance of precision in international baking. It's like, hello, don't just follow a formula - understand the nuances of each country's ingredients and how they interact with each other 🤓.

If you're an avid baker looking for new recipes and flavors to try, this one is a must-try! And if you're new to international baking, don't be discouraged if things don't turn out perfectly at first. With practice and patience, you'll get the hang of it 🍰.
 
omg i totally get what u r saying about recipe conversions between countries 🤯!! i tried baking a cake from a usa recipe while traveling abroad and it was super disappointing 😔... the oven settings were so different and it just didn't turn out right 🍰. this guide is like, totally necessary for bakers who wanna explore recipes internationally 💪!
 
Ugh, I'm so done with recipe conversions 🤯. Like, can't we just use one set of measurements or something? It's not that hard to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, but noooo, it has to be some super complicated formula that only makes sense if you're fluent in baking speak 🍰. And don't even get me started on the flour - I mean, what's up with all these different types of flour?! 🤔 Plain flour is one thing, but then there's self-raising flour and bread flour... it's like they want to confuse us on purpose 😩.

And cream! Oh boy, cream. It's like the ultimate baking mystery meat 🧀. I mean, what's with all these different types of cream? Double cream this, whipping cream that... can't we just use one type and call it a day?! 💁‍♀️

But you know what really gets my goat (pun intended)? When bakers on live TV mess up because they didn't do their research 📺. Like, Helen Goh was on Aussie TV making some cake sandwich with whipped cream and it just turned into clotted cream after a few whisks... what even is that?! 😂

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is to take recipe conversions seriously and not be afraid to do your research (or test recipes in multiple countries, lol). And if you're a baker looking for inspiration, Helen Goh's strawberry iced finger buns sound like a great place to start 🍰. But let's be real, who has time to make homemade whipped cream from scratch?! 😴
