This is from Sarahs site, WHOLE WHEAT PASTRY FLOUR - 1/4 cup (dry) contains: calories protein fat carbs fiber sodium 76 3 g 0 g 17 g 2 g 0 mg PASTRY FLOUR: Is available in supermarkets and specialty stores and comes as either plain or whole wheat. It is a low-gluten flour used in delicate cakes and pastries. Absorbs less liquid in recipes. It is from soft red winter or soft white winter wheat for use in biscuits, pancakes, pie crust, cookies, muffins and brownies, pound and sheet cakes. This flour is available either bleached or unbleached as well as whole wheat and regular. If you can't find pastry flour, there are some sources for it listed on this site. Generally, you can mix 1 cup of cake flour and 2 cups of all-purpose flour and get a good close protein mix to use for pastry flour, but it doesn't work as well.
