What are the uses of eggs in bake products?
Egg Yolks: It is the yolk or yellow portion which is responsible for the egg's emulsifying properties from the fat and lecithin contained in them (whites do not contain fat). Both contribute to the fine texture of baked goods and which bring the water and fat phases together in a recipe for a creamier, smoother texture. This is important when baking and making creamy sauces. The yolk also contains a little less than half of the protein.Egg yolk's structure:1/2 water1/6 protein1/3 fatemulsifiers (lecithin)All of the egg's vitamins A, D and E are in the yolk. Egg yolks are one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D. The yolk also contains more phosphorus, manganese, iron, iodine, copper, and calcium than the white, and it contains all of the zinc.
Egg white's structure:7/8 water1/8 protein 0 fatniacin, riboflavin, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulfur.
With the exception of riboflavin and niacin, the yolk contains a higher proportion of the egg's vitamins than the white. The yolk of a large egg contains about 59 calories. The downside is it contains 213 mg of cholesterol, a significant percentage of the American Heart Association's suggested limit of 300 mg per day.
Egg Whites: Also known as albumen, it accounts for most of an egg's liquid weight, about 67%.
Albumen is more opalescent than truly white. The cloudy appearance comes from carbon dioxide. As the egg ages, carbon dioxide escapes, so the albumen of older eggs is more transparent than that of fresher eggs.

Any glass will take the heat of baking. The problem comes in the cooling down. Just doing it a little bit too quickly will cause it to crack. Any sudden change will do it. Even a cool breeze may be enough.
What happens to flaky dough if you over mix the ingredients before adding in your water?
To my knowledge and experience, you cannot over mix ingredients before adding the liquid.
It is when you add the liquid that a chemical reaction actually occurs. Then you must work quickly.
The key to really flaky, light dough is using lard and a cold liquid. I find it easier to mix the dough with my hands rather than a utensil; to better feel its "perfectly mixed" consistency.
Mix fast ~ pat or roll out fast ~ cut/form into shape desired ~ get it in the preheated oven fast.
Also, the thinner the shape, the more flaky.
Is iced sugar and cornstarch the same thing?
No, icing sugar is incredibly fine ground up sugar. Cornstarch (although it looks similar) is cornflour; a type of flour made from corn kernals. Cornstarch is not 'sweet' in the same way that icing sugar is.

"Baked rice" is just what it says - baked rice. Rice can be cooked by baking instead of the traditional method of cooking, which is cooking on the stove top in a covered pot. To bake rice, use the same ratio of one part rice to two parts water, as well as your preferred seasonings. You can also use chicken broth (or any flavor broth or stock), just be sure to adjust any added seasonings accordingly. Combine all ingredients in a covered baking dish, then bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes, or till rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed. If the rice seems to become too dry before it's done, you can add a small amount more liquid.

All-purpose flour is made from a blend of high-gluten hard wheat and low-gluten soft wheat. It's a fine-textured flour milled from the inner part of the wheat kernel and contains neither the germ (the sprouting part) nor the bran (the outer coating). U.S. Law requires that all flours not containing wheat germ must have niacin, riboflavin, thiamin and iron added. (Individual millers sometimes also add vitamins A and D.) These flours are labeled "enriched." All-purpose flour comes in two basic forms-bleached and unbleached-that can be used interchangeably. Flour can be bleached either naturally, as it ages, or chemically. Most flour on the market today is presifted, requiring only that it be stirred, then spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off.
