The original Nestlés Toll House cookies (chocolate chip cookies) recipe calls for baking soda, not baking powder. There is no substitute for baking soda or baking powder in a recipe. You have to have it.
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, but one should reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. When one does not have baking soda, it is best to use a cookie recipe that calls for baking powder, because the two ingredients are not identical.
For a belgian waffle recipe baking power is very needed and should be used. the correct amount for 4 inch belgian waffles is about 2 teaspoons of baking powder and you should cook them for about 13 minutes
around 3 teaspoons, but this will vary according to the recipe.
For what recipe? Don't do it unless the recipe calls for it because you could seriously mess up the baking chemistry.
Baking powder and baking soda both act as a leavening agent. They would do the same thing
Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, starch and an acid (often tartar) to activate the baking soda. Since baking soda is already in the baking powder, it is possible you will not need any additional baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda are used to "raise" or puff up the pastry - too little and it will not raise properly...too much and it will taste like soda. If you do not have a specific recipe, you will need to experiment.
Baking powder and bicarbonate of soda are abrasive and should not be used to brush the teeth.
As long as the recipe calling for regular flour also has baking powder or baking soda in it and you don't put that in also. If there is yeast in the recipe, then no you should not use self rising.
They are both leavening agents, in very basic terms the only difference is, baking soda reacts in a recipe without heat, therefore baking soda should be used in the recipe close to last before baking otherwise the baked good might not rise the way it is supossed to
I haven't tried it but I read if you increase the baking soda. Example if recipe calls for 1 tsp of baking soda, add 2 tsps and they will rise nice and high. It was on a review of a muffin recipe. [Edit; JunioMuffinMan] Careful! If you do that it could affect the taste! try baking powder if the recipe calls for baking soda. I think that instead of putting some baking soda you could put baking powder but also do more of the baking powder than you would do of the baking soda. this should help, but you should experiment around a bit and also try putting double the baking soda and whatever works best you should do
