Baking Powder

Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent used in doughs and batters during cooking. The powder reacts with moisture, heat or acidity, producing carbon dioxide. The result is a "foaming action" which lightens and softens the dough or batter. Baking powder is generally baking soda mixed with an acid, usually acetic acid.

My attempt at making choux pastry failed. The puff did not rise at all. What happens if you use baking powder in choux pastry?

I wouldn't use baking powder in choux, if you follow simple rules the recipe should work.

I always use bakers flour, the more water in a recipe (choux, puff etc) the more gluten you need.

Firstly when you add the flour to the boiled water and butter make sure you beat it well, cook it out over a low heat for a couple of minutes before cooling it prior to adding the eggs. Add the eggs slowly, one at a time, use a mixer if you think you need to. The mix must emulsify before you add anymore egg.

Make sure the oven has moisture in it, if you don't have steam injection mist water over the choux shapes and the tray before putting into the hot oven. Never open the door during the first 15 mins of cooking time. Cook the puffs till a darkish golden brown, and as soon as you take them out cut them in half and scoop out any uncooked dough, if you don't the uncooked dough will soften the puff.

Good luck.

What is kum kum powder used for?

Why do we wear marks (tilak, pottu and the like) on the forehead? The tilak or pottu invokes a feeling of sanctity in the wearer and others. It is recognized as a religious mark. (Also Vishnu worshippers apply a chandan tilak of the shape of "U," Shiva worshippers a tripundra of bhasma, Devi worshippers a red dot of kumkum and so on). The tilak cover the spot between the eyebrows, which is the seat of memory and thinking. It is known as the Aajna Chakra in the language of Yoga. The tilak is applied with the prayer - "May I remember the Lord. May this pious feeling pervade all my activities. May I be righteous in my deeds." Even when we temporarily forget this prayerful attitude the mark on another reminds us of our resolve. The tilak is thus a blessing of the Lord and a protection against wrong tendencies and forces. The entire body emanates energy in the form of electromagnetic waves - the forehead and the subtle spot between the eyebrows especially so. That is why worry generates heat and causes a headache. The tilak and pottu cools the forehead, protects us and prevents energy loss. Sometimes the entire forehead is covered with chandan or bhasma. Specif information about Bindi for women: A Hot Spot! The area between the eyebrows, the sixth chakra known as the 'agna' meaning 'command', is the seat of concealed wisdom. It is the centre point wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration. According to the tantric cult, when during meditation the latent energy ('kundalini') rises from the base of the spine towards the head, this 'agna' is the probable outlet for this potent energy. The red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. It is also the central point of the base of the creation itself - symbolizing auspiciousness and good fortune. Traditional bindi is red or maroon in color. A pinch of vermilion powder applied skillfully with practiced fingertip make the perfect red dot. Women who are not nimble-fingered take great pains to get the perfect round. They use small circular discs or hollow pie coin as aid. First they apply a sticky wax paste on the empty space in the disc. This is then covered with kumkum or vermilion and then the disc is removed to get a perfect round bindi. Sandal, 'aguru', 'kasturi', 'kumkum' (made of red turmeric) and 'sindoor' (made of zinc oxide and dye) make this special red dot. Saffron ground together with 'kusumba' flower can also create the magic!
