About Baking Powder
Baking powder combines a base with acidic ingredients, unlike baking soda alone. Double-acting products release gas after mixing and again during heating; follow the recipe's timing rather than assuming the batter can wait indefinitely.
Use a dry spoon and level the powder without packing it. For fractional teaspoons, a measuring spoon may be more practical than a scale that reads only whole grams. Packet weights vary, so one packet is not a universal dose.
Tips for measuring Baking Powder
- Read whether the recipe specifies a particular baking powder type.
- Close the container promptly to keep moisture out.
Common mistakes
- Replacing baking powder with the same amount of baking soda.
