Can you use bicarb in flour instead of baking powder in biscuit mix?
Bicarbonate of soda (aka, baking soda, sodium bicarbonate) and baking powder are both "leavening" agents. Certain recipes call for baking powder while others call for baking soda due to the amount of rising that will occur and the conditions that are required to cause these reactions. When using baking soda (bicarb) alone, an acidic ingredient is needed to cause the chemical reaction, such as buttermilk, cocoa, etc, however if the recipe calls for baking powder, using baking soda alone will not give you the same effect and the baked good may not rise as fully as intended (although it is still possible to do this). To solve this you can easily make your own baking powder. To make your own baking powder, mix 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda (bicarb). This will give you the "double acting" effect you find in most commercial baking powders.
What is the best recipe for making baking powder biscuits?
I would start out by using flour. The kind of flour you use is entirely up to you. I am on a healthier diet these days, so I would use the whole wheat variation. Then add you baking powder and other ingredients found in your recipe. Good luck.
Can you mix baking powder and baking soda?
There is no need to. Baking powder has baking soda in it already. Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and baking soda. Adding extra soda to it might make the bake good you are preparing come out with "unexpected" results. If a recipe actually calls for it, fine, but I have never seen one that calls for both. If you don't have enough of one or the other for you recipe, you can mix them but if you're low on soda, the baked good may not rise as much. It's best to follow the amounts in the recipe since each one responds a little differently depending on the acid content of the batter.

What is the difference between baking cupkakes with baking powder and without baking powder?
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.
How long does baking power stay fresh?
