How many cups equal 1 square of butter?
[1 stick Butter = 1/4 pound = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 4 oz = 115 g]
1 "block" of butter is usually not 1 stick, but a full pound block.
i.e. 1 block of butter = 4 sticks = 1 pound = 2 cups = 32 tablespoons = 16 oz = 454 g
Many recipes online confuse block and stick, so if you see "block", use some common sense to decide which one is meant. In cookbooks it is nearly always the full pound block.
In Europe, a standard block of butter is usually 250 g (about 9 oz.), but recipes tend to be give by weight, not volume/shape.

How many cups is 250 grams of flour?
That is 2 cups of flour.
250 grams = approx. 1 cup of flour
----------------------------------------------------------
The density of wheat flour (after Aqua-Calc site) is 0,593 g/cm3; 250 g have a volume of cca. 420 mL.
And 420 mL is approx. 1,8 US customary cup.
250 grams of flour equals 2 cups, not one as you would expect.
You can check Chocolate & Zucchini website for this answer as well as many other cooking sites.
1 cup.
250 grams of flour equals 2 cups.
Two cups of flour equal 250 grams. There is 125 grams in one cup of flour. Grams uses mass to measure while cups uses volume.
That is one cup.
125mL=1 cup
125mL=125g
so it is 2 cups (250 divided by 125=2)
250 gm of flour is equivalent to 2 cups of flour.
2 cups
2 cups = 250g
look up 250 gr=?cups on google hope this helps
How can you Substitue cream of tartar in meringues?
I'm not positive. The reverse substitution is for 1 tsp. of baking powder, you use 1/4-1/2 tsp. of baking soda and 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar. So you could try using baking powder instead of cream of tartar, but it's not guaranteed. If there is supposed to be baking soda and cream of tartar in the recipe and you substituted baking powder, that would be more likely to succeed.
Is there any difference between granulated and extra fine granular sugar?
Superfine sugar- or Bartender's sugar, is more course than powdered sugar. Superfine sugar is similar to castor sugar (and can substitute each other), but if I were to put it in order, Superfine would have the largest granules, and powdered sugar would have the smallest.
Powdered sugar cannot be substituted with superfine sugar, or castor sugar, since it's too fine :3.

Chemical leaveners-- these are substances which when react to moisture or heat can produce gases -- the carbon dioxide gas -- they are used in quickbread as well as cakes and cookies. it is for immediate use unlike biological leaveners which used fermentation and take longer time. This usually combines the base chemicals and acid.
Biological leavenersBiologocal leaveners -- are usually this process is longer than chemical leaveners as it used fermentation like the yeast --- it alters the biological chemistry of the batter or dough while the yeast is at work.
An example of biological leavener is yeast leavening which "requires proofing, which allows the yeast time to reproduce and consume carbohydrates in the flour".
Mechanical leavenersMechanical leaveners-- are what it is you used your hand by mixing leavening agents like whisking cream, egg whites or when you do creaming -- mixing butter with sugar.

What to do when dough is too dry and crumbly?
If the bread dough is too dry before the first rising, you can try adding a bit more liquid (what ever kind the recipe calls for) to the dough. You can also add a bit more fat (melted shortening, butter or oil) to the liquid before adding it to the dough. Then finish the kneading, rising and baking process as the recipe instructs.
If bread is too dry after it's baked, it won't taste good and may even be difficult to eat being too hard to swallow. But don't throw it out! You can still use it for making other things, such as bread crumbs and croutons (seasoned or plain), or for making bread pudding.
What is the best way to bake a potato?
Errr...they're baked! 180C for 90-120 minutes, skewer to see if it's soft inside.
That will soften the inside but not harden the outside. Rub them first with olive oil to get the crunchy skin, start the oven higher (220C?) and then turn it down to 180 when the skin is harder.
I bake them at a high temp, 450F, the timing depends on the size of the potatos (always use the same size potatos, especially with this method), and just check with a fork to see if they are tender
