A recipe I would like to try calls for niseste flour. What type of flour is niseste flour?

It's a very fine corn flour. Some sources say it is a fine rice flour, some say it is a fine wheat flour, some even say it is cornstarch or wheat starch. I'm just passing on what I personally have been told.

I will try the recipe several times using corn flour, rice flour and cornstarch to see which one is better for the recipe I will be using. Thank you very much for the information. It is most valuable.

What is one-eight of a cup of flour is it half of cup plus 1 tablespoon?

Liquid measures are based on volume and are not the same as weight measures. We use the same term, "ounces," but they are not the same thing. If we were using the metric system, we would talk about grams versus milliliters. Flour comes by weight, not volume, so you cannot think that a pound of flour (16 ounces in weight) is the same as 2 cups or 2 X 8 liquid ounces. A cup of flour is equal to 8 liquid ounces in volume, but it only weighs about 4 ounces in weight. So a 5 pound bag of flour is actually more like 20 cups of flour, not 10. But this may vary according to how packed down or how sifted the flour is. The most accurate recipes give weight measurements for flour--so that you don't need to be worried about how compact or fluffed up your flour is.

Can orange peel be used interchangeably with orange zest?

Orange zest is made from orange peel. When you grate the rind of the orange, do not grate all the way to the white, you just want to grate the orange surface. Voila!! You have fresh orange zest. The zest of an orange is the very outter layer of the orange peel...just the orange part, not the white part. The easiest way to remove the zest without getting the bitter white part is to use an orange zester or a micro rasp (looks similar to a wood file). If you don't have an orange zester you can use the smallest holes on a box grater or cut the zest off with a paring knife. If using a paring knife, chop the peel as small as possible...now you have orange zest.

What type of food is stollen in Germany?

Stollen is a dense, rich bread with butter, dried fruit, candied peel and spices. Some versions are quite sweet and may include marzipan or nuts. The top is often covered in icing/powdered sugar. Stollen is traditionally baked for Christmas or Advent in some parts of Germany, and possibly originated from the desire to have a more festive and flavoursome bread in the time of Advent fasting.

Is cocoa butter and cocoa powder the same thing?

How long should you bake boneless skinless whole chicken breast?

Chicken should always be cooked through as if it is in any part raw it may give you food poisoning (particularly salmonella poisoning). The best way of ensuring that it is cooked is to use a digital thermometer, inserting this into the thickest part of the meat. The thermometer should read at least 165 Fahrenheit / 74 Celcius. You need to cook the food until this point is reached.

Obviously there are many ways of cooking the breasts, frying, grilling, baking, boiling and chickens come in different sizes (the larger the breasts and the more of them you are cooking together, the longer the cooking will take), also altitude makes a difference to the cooking process. It is therefore difficult to provide you with a definitive time for the desired temperature to be reached. However, if you were to bake the breasts in an oven preheated to 180 Cecilius / 356 Fahrenheit, it should take about 20 to 30 mins. for a pair of bone in breasts.

What flour do you use when making shortbread?

This is the way that my Scottish great-grandmother taught my mother to make shortbread and has since been passed to me.

First you must absolutely use butter. No other fat will do. Also it is better to use a superfine sugar as opposed to regular granulated sugar. I personally use icing sugar. Any given recipe for shortbread will often have too much sugar in it. Sugar plus butter plus heat equals hard. I like to make shortbread that is so short it will just melt in your mouth. It should taste the way snow looks. Sweeten your shortbread dough till it is just sweet to taste and that is it. If the recipe calls for a half cup, I usually will put in only a third. Cornstarch is also another ingredient I like to use but it can also be replaced with rice flour. The recipe found on the back of a box of cornstarch should be just fine (just decrease the sugar).

Okay, now that all the ingredients are gathered all you need to remember is the classic french pastry rule "ne touche pas". The less contact your hands have with the dough the better. I cut in the butter with either a pastry cutter or a pair of knives. I also prefer the method of pressing the dough into a round pan Scottish style to make wedges. This is much better than rolling out the dough and cutting into shapes because there is much less handling. Score the pieces out for yourself (wedges for a round pan, fingers for a rectangular pan) and lightly prick the surface with the tines of a fork. Finally bake the shortbread for a very long time on a low heat. About an hour at 275. The shortbread should be just golden at the edges. Do not attempt to remove the shortbread from the pan until completely cooled.
