I ended up getting potato flour at Essential - and then about a week later my local Coles decided to start stocking it. (Cue X-Files music...) I found it a bit dry until last night's variation - I sliced the prunes in halves before soaking, added a couple of extra egg yolks (due mostly to a separation malfunction) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-47396522764092146142012-07-29T15:05:23.976+02:002012-07-29T15:05:23.976+02:00Hi - not sure what part of melbourne you're fr...Hi - not sure what part of melbourne you're from but I've found most larger supermarkets should stock potato flour. Independents like Leo's in Kew and Piedimonte's in North Fitzroy also have it.

I had a lot of trouble finding potato flour, though, and ended up using a much smaller amount of cornflour and more almond meal.
