Baking Soda Vs. Baking Powder
Ever wonder what difference between baking soda and baking powder is? They’re both
leavening agents.
Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. When mix with an acid like lemon or buttermilk, it
creates carbon dioxide bubbles which causes your baking to rise. Baking powder on the
other hand is sodium bicarbonate with the bit of dry acid already mixed into it so
something like cream of tartar.
It just needs a little bit of liquid to have that same reaction and it is typically used in
recipes where no other acid is available. Find you're run out of baking powder? No need
to worry. So for every teaspoon of baking powder you need for you recipe, here’s what
you need to mix.
You’ll start with a ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. Add a ½ teaspoon of your cream of tartar
and then a ¼ teaspoon of some corn starch. And there you have it a substitute for baking
powder.
