If you go on mercury will you burn and die?

Mecury is 100-700 degrees in the day. So during the day, you would fry like an egg... but much faster.

Always measure your butter, sugar and use the egg the recipe says!. These ratios are so important!. Bake at the correct temp for the best results!. A cup of flour is always approximate!. If you are a 'near enough is good enough baker' like me it will make more sense!. The same goes for liquid and any other bits!. As long as a cake pours at the right consistency and biscuit batter doesn't glue my fingers together, that's how they turn out!. Muffins are a little less runny than cakes!. Bread is completely different!. Follow the recipe because if you don't, it will become like a doorstop or so holey the butter falls through!. Knead lots and well the first time!. Second knead only do as much as it needs to get into a pan!. Temp is important too!. You must ask also xhike of xhikies bakery in aliaga for more information..

What does flour do when you cook with it?

According to Wayne Gisslen's Professional Baking Fifth Edition, it "provides structure and bulk to most baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, breads and pastries" Flour comes in different styles and each has a different level of the two proteins, glutenin and gliadin, that form gluten when the flour is moistened and mixed. The amount of these proteins indicate how much gluten can be produced when mixed. Bread flour has the most protein in and helps create the chewiness that most people associate with bread. Cake flour has the least amount of proteins and that creates a less chewy and more delicate product, like an Angel food cake. If either flour is over mixed the gluten will over develop and make food items that have the wrong texture and create a less than desirable product.
