5 cups total. So mix together the cornstarch + AP flour, and measure out 5 cups of the mixture.

So if your recipe calls for 5 cups of cake flour do you use 5 cups of all-purpose flour and cornstarch togther?

Thanks,

According to joyofcooking.com , you can make pastry flour by mixing 1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour with 2/3 c. cake flour. So I guess if you make your own cake flour, you can then make your own pastry flour…

Great info! I literally read a recipe this morning that needed cake flour – I get so overwhelmed by all the different flours I just disregarded the recipe! Now I don’t have to!

This is a really interesting series! Is there a way to make your own pastry flour? I keep seeing recipes call for whole-wheat pastry flour, but I’ve never found it in stores!
