What is an example of a fast acting leavening agent?

Baking soda is an example of a fast acting leavening agent.

The chemical in baking soda is bicarbonate of soda (NaHCO3). When combined with an acidic ingredient, such as the lactic acid in buttermilk, baking soda releases carbon dioxide which forms bubbles in the food. When heated, these bubbles expand and help to rise or lighten the final product. A fast acting agent reacts at room temperature.

It is the type of acid that determines whether the leavening agent is fast or slow acting. Baking powder can be "fast acting", "slow acting", or "double-acting". Double-acting is the most commonly used and it is the type of "acids" used that determine whether the baking powder is slow, fast, or double acting. Low temperature acids produce a fast acting agent while high temperature acids produce a slow acting agent. The use of a combination of both high and low temperature acids in baking powder creates a double acting agent.

What is a drop batter in baking?

Drop batters, such as those used to make drop biscuits, are too soft and runny to be rolled out and thus are dropped from a spoon. I use a large wooden spoon to drop biscuit batter on to the baking sheet, resulting in biscuits about 2 1/2" in diameter and with a more freeform shape than rolled biscuits cut with a cookie cutter.

What is a condiment made with a mortar and pestle?

The best use is definitely to crush fresh Ligurian basil (together with garlic, oil and pecorino cheese) in order to make the "pesto", a green sauce to be used for pasta's first courses.

----------------------------

Basically, a mortar is a grinding tool - a food processor - just exactly like a coffee or spice grinder or electric processor, but because of its design it is far more versatile.

The mortar is the 'bowl' and the pestle is the 'stick' used to grind, crush, mix and stir. In some parts of the world the average kitchen has several mortar-and-pestle sets for different uses; for example, a wooden set used only for grinding dry spices; a stone (granite or marble) set used as an all-purpose heavy-duty grinder and mixer; and a metal - frequently brass - set used exclusively for mashing and mixing wet ingredients. Some kitchens also have a set used only for grinding coffee in small quantities and also for blending different roasted coffee beans.

Pesto, as excellently described by the previous contributor, would probably be crushed and mixed in a stone mortar, which is heavy and solid enough to take a lot of pounding. Similar sauces, such as guacamole, would be treated in the same manner. The large stone mortar has the advantage of being able to handle all stages of the sauce, starting dry with spices to be crushed and gradually moving to moister foods such as chilli and garlic, anchovies, and so on. A little coarse salt might go in now, to help crush these to a paste. Tomatoes, avocados, fresh herbs and other ingredients can now be mashed in and wine, lemon or lime juice, oil or other liquids such as fish sauce for Asian pastes can follow.

The great advantage of a mortar over an electric processor or blender is that the cook retains total control of the process at all times and is able to smell and taste the sauce as it develops, keeping watch for the desired finished texture. This adds to the enjoyment of cooking for even the most experienced cook, and because sharing food with others involves sight, taste, aroma and conversation, serving a pesto, guacamole, or other sauce at table in the mortar in which it was mixed looks fantastic and adds a special feel to the dining experience. I've a medium-sized granite mortar used for this purpose and it is frequently the star of the show.

Working food in this way also means no messy blender to wash up, since the mortar and pestle does the lot, with just the assistance of a decent knife.

Why bakers dozen used?

During times of high corn prices, bakers were suspected of cheating customers by putting less rolls or buns in a bag but charging for a full dozen. In order to stamp out this practice, stiff penalties were passed on bakers shortchanging their customers.

In order to avoid accidentally putting less bread in a bag and falling foul of this law, bakers took to sticking an extra bun in the bag so that even if they miscounted, they wouldn't be punished.

So 'a baker's dozen' means thirteen!
