  • 1 teaspoon fine salt sea salt or Himalayan
  • 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter

  • Use a pastry cutter to blend in the butter.
  • Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

Can you Substitute cake flour for all-purpose?
Yes! If using all-purpose flour instead of cake flour, you will only need only need 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour. However the cakes crumb/texture will be different.
