Pastry flour is a low-gluten flour milled from soft winter wheat. Some cake, piecrust and muffin recipes (but not breads) call for pastry flour because it produces a finer, lighter texture than all-purpose flour. Whole-wheat pastry flour utilizes all the kernel (bran and germ), making it very nutritious. Whole-wheat pasty flour is denser than regular pastry flour and imparts a rustic, earthy quality to the finished product. Look near the other flours and baking ingredients in supermarkets for these products. Learn more at AmericanHeart. org/cookbooksor store.diabetes.org. The cookbook is also available at (800) 282-6733 and most bookstores.
