Organic Silky Smooth Pastry Flour

I admit that it was my fault not to have read about your flours thoroughly before I placed my order (that's why I am giving 4 stars). I did not realize that this flour has some germ and bran finely ground into it until I baked an angel food cake, my go-to recipe to test a new pasty flour. The flour seemed so smooth and soft but the cake didn't rise as it should. That's when I read more on your web site and realized that this pastry flour contains some oil from germ. I do use sprouted whole grain, which I grind just before use with my grain mill, but prefer my pastry flour without any germ or bran to make delicate cakes and cookies. Once whole grain is ground, the oil from the germ becomes rancid in 10 days. I am keeping the rest of the flour in my freezer, and I am sure it will make excellent cakes and cookies. I just believe that not every flour has to contain germ and bran in order to be "healthy". I do admire your farming practices and philosophy and send my best wishes to continuing success.

Ok, so this is my second review! I just LOVE this flour for my pie crusts! You haven't ordered this yet? Why not?! This flour absolutely elevates your pie. I can even tell when I'm handling the dough to roll it out how light it is. You can feel the difference. Once you try this flour, you will not want to use anything else for your pastries!

I love all the flours I get from Janie’s but this is one of my favorites. Great in a variety if baked goods.

Mind blown - this is the best flour for pie crusts! I can't believe the difference it makes in my pies. And I feel better knowing this is a much healthier flour than the big name brands.

Janie’s Mill products have done wonders for our family. To find such high-quality flour at such a reasonable price has made both health and happiness in our home kitchen possible. We’re lucky to have such a delicious and healthy resource amidst the sea of low quality, poisonous, high priced junk in the US. Thank you Janie’s Mill!!!
