It is not necessarily
the kind of flour as it is how much you BEAT IT. Muffins should never be beaten. You beat the eggs, etc but once you get to adding the flour, it needs to be GENTLY folded in. The more you mix it, the tougher the batter becomes. Then you have a cake rather than a muffin.
One pint of flour is approximately 480 grams. However, the weight can vary slightly depending on the type and density of the flour.
== == == == The density of sifted white flour (made from wheat) is approximately: 125 grams/cup, or 528 grams/liter. This information is from www.cookingforengineers.com/article/63/Wheat-Flour, and it agrees with the measurement I made in my kitchen. I recommend this article; it has a good section on measuring flour. The main points are: # Recipes that give volume measurements for flour should (and usually do) give sifted volumes, because the sifted density is fairly reproduceable, but settling can give a density as much as 1.5 as much as this. # Measuring by weight is the best way. If you have a recipe with volumes and you want to convert to weights this density is useful - at least as a starting point. # Some recipes may give volumes converted from weights (or vice versa) using a density of 140 grams/cup, intermediate between sifted and highly settled. There is no easy way to produce this density, so this practice is not helpful. If you have a recipe with both weight and volume given, and the weight/volume ratio is 140 grams/cup, then probably either the volume is right (for sifted flour) but the weight is too large, or the weight is right, but the volume is too small. It may take some experimentation to determine which. Some other things the density could depend on, besides whether it is sifted or settled: * Which components are included; is it whole grain flour, white, or something in between? * How dry is the flour? * What grain is it made from - wheat, rye, buckwheat, corn, rice, etc.? To give some idea of how much the density can vary, here are some wheat flour density measurements I just made in my kitchen: White all-purpose flour, settled: 183 grams/cup White all-purpose flour, sifted: 123 grams/cup Hope this helps.
Flour is made with wheat and depending on what wheat it is determines the color of the flour ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All flours eventually turn white by being bleached by light. Finer ground flours bleach faster. Different grains produce different color flours initially, from a yellowish white or pinkish white to a bright white.
Depends on the type of flour: All purpose flour: ~6.89 pounds Whole wheat flour: ~6.61 pounds Bread flour: ~7 pounds Rye flour: ~5.62 pounds
1 tablespoon of flour is approximately 8-10 grams, depending on the type of flour and how compacted it is.
The density of flour can vary depending on the type and how it is packed, but generally falls between 0.5-0.6 grams per milliliter.
A 32 gallon container of flour typically weighs around 20-25 pounds, depending on the type of flour and its density.
One pint of flour is approximately 480 grams. However, the weight can vary slightly depending on the type and density of the flour.
Yes, there is such a thing as an English Muffin. Is is a type of bread.
The gluten content of the flour determines whether it becomes a bread or a muffin/cake type of product. It is not that it is self-rising - that just means that it has some baking soda/baking powder included. That type of mixture is normally used for biscuits, muffins, cupcakes. Bread Flour and regular all purpose flour have gluten but need Yeast to become a true bread.

It is difficult to accurately convert grams to milliliters for most ingredients, including flour, because the conversion depends on the density of the ingredient. The density of flour can vary depending on factors such as the type of flour, the degree of grinding, and the level of moisture content. As a result, there is not a single conversion factor that can be used to convert grams to milliliters for all types of flour. However, if you need to convert grams of flour to milliliters, you can use the following general conversion as a rough estimate: 1 gram of flour = approximately 1.5 milliliters Using this conversion factor, 31 grams of flour would be approximately 47.5 milliliters. However, keep in mind that this is just a rough estimate and the actual conversion factor may vary depending on the specific type of flour you are using.

You are mixing volume (cups) with mass (weight). There are many different types of flour and the volume of it varies with type, density and even humidity. That is the reason most bakers prefer to weight their flour instead of measure it by volume, it is more accurate.
Yes it does. Self-raising flour will of course cause the cake to rise a lot more while cooking. Plain flour does not have this same effect. The recipe should indicate how much of which type of flour to use and what the final result should be. If you use more self-raising flour it will tend to have more 'air-bubbles' giving it a lighter and 'fluffier' texture.
Each flour type had different properties. See the links below for descriptions and substitutions for each type of flour.
Whole wheat flour is 0.4793057 g/mL, or 4 oz/cup.
