Cake Flour Substitute

I don't always have cake flour on hand, and i'm betting many others don't either. I have discovered that this substitute works very, very well. Easy too, and it uses pantry staples!!

Steps

To make two cups of cake-and-pastry flour , combine 1 3 / 4 cups all-purpose flour with 1 / 4 cup cornstarch.
Proceed with your recipe.
The easiest way to do this substitution is to put 2 tbsp of cornstarch in the bottom of a 1-cup measuring cup , then fill the cup as usual with all-purpose flour and level top.
Repeat process to get your two cups.
If you only need 1 / 2 cup of cake flour , put 1 tbsp cornstarch in bottom of 1 / 2 cup measuring cup , then fill and level as above.

Ingredients

all-purpose flour, cornstarch
