Pound Dear Helen: -Many women think that all flours are just alike because they look alike.

And herein lies the cause of many costly baking failures. Flour milled from hard wheat is intended primarily for bread baking. Its tough gluten is excellent or the slow actions of yeast but much too resistant to light quick leavens used in pastry mixtures. 1 Elegant flour, milled from soft wheat, is the ideal pastry flour. Its tender pliable gluten responds quickly and evenly to light leavens such as baking powder, egg whites, etc.

Use Elegant flour for all your pastry baking avoid the risks of costly baking failures.
