FLOUR TIPS

 As you probably know, cake flour is lighter than all-purpose flour. But did you know if you don't have cake flour on hand, you can make your own. Measure 1 cup of flour and remove 2 tablespoons. Replace those 2 tablespoons of flour with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Do this for each cup of flour called for in your recipe! Mix the flour and cornstarch together in a bowl and then sift them. Sifting will add more air and lightness to your flour. Measure out the amount called for in your recipe. You may have extra flour as the sifting adds volume.
