Yes, you can use baking powder in an egg bake to add lightness and a fluffy texture. It acts as a leavening agent, helping the mixture rise as it cooks. However, the amount should be used sparingly, as too much can alter the flavor. Typically, a teaspoon or so is sufficient for a standard egg bake recipe.
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!
i usually use baking powder, not baking soda
baking powder.
don't add flour...only a little bit I would reduce the raising ingrediant (egg, baking powder, baking soda, etc.) or add a slight bit more liquid.
Bake on parchment paper, egg wash. Bake and rotate halfway through
You can use whipped egg whites as a substitute for both baking powder and baking soda in a recipe.
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.
is is sort of like butter- *No i don't agree with this answer. Cream of tarter is not a cream, it's powder used in candy making, in frosting, its used to stabilize egg whites and used in and baking. Its made from tartaric acid. Its an ingredient in baking powder.
Meringue powder is used in baking recipes to stabilize and add structure to whipped egg whites, making them stiffer and more voluminous. This helps create light and airy textures in baked goods like meringues, macarons, and frosting.
Meringue powder is commonly used in baking and confectionery for making royal icing, meringue cookies, marshmallows, and stabilizing whipped cream. It can also be used as a substitute for fresh egg whites in recipes that require a stable foam.
If you don't have baking powder for your recipe, you can try using baking soda as a substitute. Just use a quarter of the amount of baking soda compared to the amount of baking powder called for in the recipe. You can also try using whipped egg whites or buttermilk as alternatives to help your recipe rise.
you use baking powder Another answer: No, there are some cookie recipes, such as shortbread, that do not use any leavening. But most cookies require either baking soda or baking powder, or in some cases, whipped egg whites.
