What would happen if you forgot to use flour when baking?
One time I was making sugar cookies and I accidentally used powdered sugar instead of flour (they look kind of similar, right? haha). The cookies basically melted into a giant blob that leaked over the sides of sheet. Not a fun mess to clean up. And not even my dog would eat the sugary goop I created.
I just did an experiment on what would happen if i didn't add flour to the chocolate chip bars i made. when i took them out of the oven it was black soupy and bubbling!! it looked like tar and it was a MESS to clean! If you dont add flour it wont rise
How many egg whites equal one whole egg in baking?
An egg from a domestic fowl (common hen or chicken) or duck is 30-40% yolk and 60-70% white (albumen) by weight. For baking purposes we do not usually need great precision, so we can assume the same proportions by volume.
The albumen is mostly protein and water, and the yolk is an emulsion of fat, protein and water, so if no yolk is used a little replacement fat or oil should be added as a substitute, and more egg white used in proportion to the amount of yolks left out.
If a recipe requires N eggs an equivalent is roughly = 1.3 x N of egg whites plus about N teaspoons oil.
The more eggs a recipe has, and the bigger the proportion of overall ingredients they are, the more rough this approximation will be, as it makes quite a few assumptions.
For simple cakes it may work, but probably not for the very egg rich Choux pastry (profiteroles, chocolate eclairs etc). Also the flavour will be less rich.
How do i divide 5 cups of flour into half?
That depends upon the type of flour and it's moisture content. Because of this fact, recipes for bread based on volume often can't be reliably repeated with the same result. Weight, on the other hand - the weight of the liquid and the weight of the flour - is more reliable.
Can you use semisweet chocolate squares in a recipe that calls for unsweetened chocolate?
Yes! For each ounce of unsweetened chocolates (where 1 ounce = 1 square), you can use 1 2/3 ounces of semisweet chocolate AND reduce the amount of sugar that is being used in the recipe by 2 teaspoons.
1 square = 1 ounce = 1/3 cup of chocolate chips
That conversion, though, is a bit tricky. If you do not have unsweetened chocolate, it is actually easier to substitute it the following way:
For each ounce of unsweetened chocolate, use 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa AND 1 tablespoon or either butter, margarine, or shortening.

Castor sugar is simply white sugar (sucrose) that has been ground so that the granules are smaller and finer.
