About Pastry flour
Pastry flour is a milled wheat flour generally intended for tender baked goods. It is usually made from relatively soft wheat and has less gluten-forming potential than many bread flours, though specifications vary by mill and market. The flour is a fine, dry powder, typically pale cream to white, with a mild grain flavour.
It is used in pastries, biscuits, cakes, and other bakes where a tender crumb is desired. Pastry flour is sold as a dry, milled product and may be bleached or unbleached depending on the product. It is distinct from a finished pastry and from flour blends sold for particular recipes.
