What is Pastry flour?

Pastry flour is the same product as cake flour. It is a very fine textured flour with a high starch content that produces very tender pastries and cakes.  Cake flour is readily available in most grocery stores.

Substitute for Pastry flour

Per cup of pastry flour, substitute 7/8 cup all purpose flour + 2 tablespoons of corn starch. This will produce a tougher pastry or cake than pastry flour.
