So it has been a while - but Clive has been one very busy deer. You know, sending out his Christmas cards (for Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen - the whole gang), wrapping up presents, making a pudding for Christmas day - all that fun stuff. But now he is back with another tip for you all!And this is a good one, have you ever come across a recipe that calls for cake flour? I mean, really, who ever has cake flour on hand? I know I certainly don't, and I also don't like forking out extra cash for a special flour that I barely use.
So what can you do instead? Well did you know that...
1 cup of cake flour = (1 cup of plain flour - 2 tablespoons) + 2 tablespoons of corn flourOr in plain english - for each cup of cake flour that you require take one cup of plain (all-purpose) flour, remove 2 tablespoons of the flour and replace it with 2 tablespoons of corn flour (or corn starch).
