Test Kitchen Tips

Whole wheat pastry flour is ¬made from soft wheat, which contains less gluten than hard wheat, the ingredient in regular whole wheat flour. Pastry flour produces lighter, more tender and flaky biscuits, pie crusts and baked goods. If you need a sub, try a 50-50 mix of cake or all-purpose and whole wheat flours.
