Why do you need to use baking powder and baking soda in baking?
these are used to make the cake rise but only use when needed. you don't need to use it when using self-rasing flour.
What can you use to substitute baking powder in chocolate ship cookies?
You can use cream of tartar and baking soda as a replacement for baking powder. One half teaspoon of cream of tartar and one quarter teaspoon of baking soda will equal one teaspoon of baking powder.
Not is any recipe calling for it, if you want something like the recipe was designed to make. The baking powder bubbles when heated and makes the cake or cookies or biscuits or what not lighter and fluffier - without it you will get a hard, flat product.
Is baking powder used in baking soda?
Baking powder is not the same as baking soda.
Baking powder is a 1:3 ratio of baking soda to cream of tartar, which are both raising agents designed for different purposes - one of them is activated by water, the other by heat.
Baking soda is "strong" compared to baking powder, and is not a direct substitute for baking powder.
Why when tested with a red litmus paper baking powder dont change the color or litmus paper?
There can be 2 questions to this answer:
Baking Powder is mainly composed of NaHCO3
When a substance which is acidic or basic in nature is dissolved in water it shows disassociation, it divides into ions. For instance HCl divides into H+ and Cl- ions. This dissociation decides the nature of a substance more concentration of H+ more is the acidity. But this disassociation of a acidic or basic substance only only takes place in water hence until and unless the baking powder is put into water it won't turn red litmus blue.
Another cause can be that you might be testing acidity or basic nature long time after putting the baking soda in water. Baking powder is not only NaHCO3 but has acidic crystals with it. So when we put in water a neutralization reaction takes place producing CO2 and H2O. After some time the basic nature could go away due to the neutralization reaction.
How much does glass powder cost?
Glassware prices can range from 1 dollar to infinite depending on what you are buying because there will always be a product that can be worth a lot and be made out of glass. Prices can vary on the opinion of that person.
What is baking powder used for?
Baking powder is useful for mixing into many types of batter and dough as leavening. It already contains an acid, so it does not need additional acid in the batter, as baking soda needs. Some baked good that use baking powder as leavening are Quick Breads, Cookies, Biscuits, Cornbread, Muffins, Pancakes and Waffles.
How can you test baking powder to see if it still works?
pour it onto a chunk of dry ice and dig up a body of a dead murderer and shove the ice into his mouth. If the baking soda evaporates, the baking soda is still fresh.
i think they mean with out getting arested add it to vinger if it fizzes it is still good
What gas is produced when acid mixed with baking powder?
Water vapor is produced when baking soda and hydrochloric acid are mixed.
What happens if you drink baking powder with water?
Nothing will happen it will stay the same but the solution will be slightly basic.
(Answer if you are a chemistry student:
Baking soda is NaHCO3. The sodium is a spectator ion in water and the HCO3- is the conjugate base of a weak acid, H2CO3. Therefore, you expect the weak acid to re-associate leaving hydroxide ions in solution. NaHCO3(s) + H2O(l) <--> Na+(aq) + H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)
Therefore, the solution would have a pH greater than 7 due to the hydroxide ions.)
What year was baking powder invented?
Baking Powder is a leavening agent that consists of a combination of baking soda, cream of tartar, and a moisture absorber (like cornstarch). It has the action of yeast but it acts much more quickly. It's used in batters where there is no acid present. such as many baked goods: cookies, cakes, pastries, pies, quick bread, etc. It makes these types of food products voluminous by allowing gas formation when an acid comes into contact with it and/or when it's heated. Baking powder acts immediately upon addition of water, therefore a filler (usually cornstarch) is added to absorb the moisture and prevent premature activity.
Can you use bicaranate soda insted of baking powder?

Where can someone purchase spirulina powder?
Spirulina can be purchased from many stores including Amazon and Vitamin Shoppe. Spirulina can be used as a dietary supplement and is believed to be a natural anti-oxident.
How do you dispose of old baking powder?
if you use old baking powder, the cake will not rise properly. To test the baking powder to see if its still good, put one teaspoon of baking powder in a glass, add a little water, if it foams real good, you can use it, otherwise throw it out and get new.
Must baking powder be used in a dough?
Yes - but you cannot just convert yeasted bread recipe by adding baking powder instead of yeast. The method required is different and must be designed to match the raising agent used. Bread made without yeast tends to go stale more quickly and what is not eaten on the first day is better toasted after that.
Here are recipes for Baking Powder Bread and Irish Soda Bread. Both of them are really just like making a batch of scones but without portioning the dough into individual pieces.
Baking Powder Bread
(Purported to be from Katherine Mansfield's mother)
3 cups wholemeal flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon golden syrup
¼ cup hot water
½ cup milk
Combine dry ingredients. Dissolve the syrup in the hot water then add the milk -reserving a little. Make a scone dough, knead lightly and briefly and form into a long loaf slashing the top diagonally. Bake at 170° for 15-30 minutes till hollow when tapped.
Irish Soda Bread
2 cups plain flour
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsps baking soda
2 cups buttermilk (or plain yoghurt or milk acidulated with vinegar)
Preheat the oven to 200°.
Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Make a well and stir in the milk with a wooden spoon, to make a soft but not sticky dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly for a minute till smooth. Shape to a smooth round loaf, place on a floured tray and cut a deep cross in the top from side to side. Bake for 30 minutes till done. Cool on a wire rack.
Why baking powder is added to cakes?
Baking powder is a mixture of one or more acidic salts and baking soda, an alkali. These two compounds react when they get wet and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. These, in turn, cause baked goods to rise.
Where in Oklahoma can you buy Calumet baking powder?
If baking powder fizzes in vinegar is it a chemical reaction?
yes, because the powder reacts after hitting the vinegar.
What is the difference between bicarbonated soda and baking powder?
"Bicarbonate of soda" is another common name, substituting "soda" for "sodium." The term "bicarbonate of baking soda" is also used in some contexts, although it is not common and may be considered redundant.
"Baking powder," on the other hand, is a leavening agent that includes baking soda, among other ingredients.
