I don't own an oven..but I will have access to one soon. I wanted to make sugar cookies. I need baking powder and all purpose flour. Can someone please give me the Korean names for these items? thanks!

For baking powder they just use the same name in Konglish 베이킹 파우더, just in case you can't find any with English on it.

plain, all-purpose flour is 밀가루 (milgaru) in Korean.

XD what they said~ Sorry I passed out after dinner.. here's some pictures to go along with it. The flour I get is what roadballmint wrote but the 과자 (cookie) version in particular. The small packs are about 1.5k.

Interesting.. just found this:

* 케이크 밀가루와 가루반죽 밀가루(Cake flour, pastry flour) = soft flour
* 다목적 밀가루(All-purpose flour) = plain flour
* 빵 밀가루(Bread flour) = strong flour, hard flour
* 베이킹 파우더가 든 밀가루(Self-rising flour) = self-raising flour
* 완전 밀가루(Whole-wheat flour) = wholemeal flour

for gluten levels it goes.. cake < cookie/pastry < all-purpose < bread
XD I never knew~ the grocery lady told me to get the cookie one.

This thread doesn't answer your question specifically, but it does have a link to some great information on the baking area in Dongdaemun.

Another question. Does anyone know where I could buy (cheapish) kitchen scales in the Gangnam area? I know that I can go to Dongdaemun, but it might take me a month or two to get over that way.

And while we're at it, is it easy to find muffin tins in Korea?

[moosehead]

smaller ones aren't hard to find but they are a bit pricey. try the foreign markets, even the basement-grocery sections of dept stores like Hyndai andLotteMart

you can also buy sugar cookie mix online from ezshopkorea and no doubt ilovecookie as well.

[frankly speaking]

baking soda is called shik soda. I am sorry that I don't have a korean keyboard, but I am certain that someone can spell it for you.

I actually don't use baking powder in a cookie, soda adds more air and makes them slightly more fluffy.

I have seen vanilla at Emart as well as a good selection of baking pans. Most are around 10,000 won. Not too bad. I have a large muffin pan that only cost me 15,000.
