What is Pastry Flour?
Our Pasty Flour Blend gives you the best of both worlds: it is a combination of our All-Purpose Flour and Pastry Flour, and its easier to work with (in terms of shaping, rolling, etc.) than either 100% pastry flour or 100% cake flour, which would result in doughs that are almost too delicate to handle.
Our Pastry Flour Blend brings new meaning to the words “easy as pie.”
The gluten-forming protein content in this flour is between extra-soft southern-style pastry flour and all-purpose flour. Our Pastry Flour Blend creates tender, delicate baked goods but also makes dough that is easier to handle and shape. Use it for biscuits, pie crust, muffins, and other non-yeast recipes.

Does King Arthur make white flour?
Our wheat flours (with the exception of whole wheat), such as all-purpose flour, cake flour, and self-rising flour, are naturally aged after milling for around two to four weeks, during which time they slowly oxidize and whiten on their own. This is unbleached flour, and it’s how King Arthur makes all of our white flours.
Is it rumored that white flour can cause arthritis?
Scientific evidence suggests that white flour could worsen arthritis symptoms because it can generate inflammation. In the same way, it can worsen the symptoms of obesity and diabetes.
