When using Harino Star Mix, it can typically be substituted cup-for-cup for all-purpose flour in most recipes. For baking, it’s often sifted to ensure a light texture in cakes and pastries. When making doughs for bread, it absorbs liquid to form a pliable structure. It can also be used to create batters for frying or to dust surfaces when rolling out doughs. Its neutral flavor profile makes it suitable for both sweet and savory preparations.
