I am assuming you are out of baking powder?
If you have baking soda and cream of tarter, you can substitute that - 2 parts cream of tarter to 1 part baking soda. Use the resulting powder in the proportions the recipe calls for.
Alternatively, you can beat your egg whites in the recipe (I might add an additional egg white for extra leavening) and fold them into the yolk/milk/flour mixture.
Or you could just make crepes - omitting the baking powder and making a denser, flat pancake, a la Paris!
Yes you do need to put in baking powder because baking powder makes them rise
While possible, you will have to different cakes. In texture and height.
To make bread using baking powder instead of yeast, you can use a recipe that includes baking powder as a leavening agent. Baking powder helps the bread rise without the need for yeast. Simply mix the baking powder with the dry ingredients, then add the wet ingredients and bake the bread according to the recipe instructions.
if the recipie says to use baking powder you should use that as that is how it is sopose to be used but you may try and use baking soda if you don't have baking powder
yes you should use baking powder in scones because that makes the scones rise when they bake.
Yes.
Jam Tarts...:D...Hope it helped...
no you do not you need self raising flour though
Baking Powder is what makes cakes rise, similar to yeast in bread. Plain flour recipes usually need baking powder added alongside other ingredients, whereas Self-Raising flour already has Baking Powder combined so extra is not usually needed. If you bake cupcakes with Plain flour and without Baking Powder they will be very flat, about the same size as the raw mixture, it won't be light and fluffy but quite dense. It is also a good idea to not substitute Self Raising flour in a recipe that calls for Plain and Baking Powder (and vice versa), as the amount is usually tailored to give just the right amount of rise to the food.
The baking powder makes any food you bake rise. How much it rises depends on how much powder you put in and how hot your oven is when you put the food in. For best results a sudden burst of heat is needed.
Of course! There are many recipes that don't contain raising agents, it just depends what type of cookies you are making. Shortbread has no raising agents, and neiter do sugar cookies and the kind that you cut shapes out of and ice with frosting. You probably could but they would be really flat because baking powder and baking soda makes them rise.
The amount of baking powder required depends entirely on what you intend to bake. Different types of cookies, muffins and other baked goods require different proportions of baking powder to flour.
