baking powder is just soda with additives

125 g of bicarbonate of soda, 20 g of ammonium carbonate, 250 g of cremor-tartar (tartaric salt), 25 g of rice flour (Flour or other product is added to the powder so that the main chemicals do not react during storage).

- And it's simpler: soda and citric acid (powder) in a ratio of 1-in to 1-st. For example: you need to add 1 tsp. baking powder = 0.5 tsp. soda + 0.5 tsp. citric acid. Recommended: first mix the powder with flour - then sift everything together.
Exhumer
Explain, please. I read in my instructions for making a cupcake:
3 measuring cups (480g) flour with baking powder
So I understand that the baking powder must be added there separately. But how much is needed for such a volume and how to add it correctly - just add (like yeast) or mix? Or maybe there is ready-made flour right away with baking powder?
Zoychik
usually it is not written in a bag of powder how much flour it is designed for - usually a pound or a kilogram
appropriately and add
and the stove will stir

Baking powder (or baking powder) can be made at home:
take 1 teaspoon of baking soda, citric acid and starch. That's all for a short time.

I knew that baking powder is mixed from soda with ammonium, but I myself usually just use soda and citric acid.

Search in the internet - and you're done

BAKING POWDER

Buckpulver; Swede, bakpulver, eng. baking powder.

In many ways, the ideal formulation of baking dough lifting aids, which has been mainly used since the 20th century. instead of previously separately used soda, ammonium, tartaric salt (cremortartar) and which, when used, gave a noticeable taste to confectionery products or influenced their fragility and the appearance of an ugly, withered color.

Baking powder, as a rule, does not cause the indicated disadvantages, regardless of its composition, which is usually different and in most cases constitutes the secret of the company that produces it, as a result of which it is produced in all countries under the general name "buckpulver".

One of the best compositions of the bukpulver is as follows: 125 g of bicarbonate of soda, 250 g of cremortartar, 25 g of rice flour, 20 g of ammonium carbonate.

It is not difficult to prepare such a composition yourself, but it is necessary that all the necessary parts be perfectly dry when mixed and then stored in a hermetically sealed container (glass or porcelain, but not in metal).

When using baking powder, it must be assumed that it is intended solely for raising flour, and the weight of all other ingredients in the pastry dough is not counted.

For every half a kilogram of flour, 20 g of bakpulver is needed, therefore, in cookies, where 100 g of flour are consumed, 4 g of baking powder is needed.

Baking powder (baking powder)

My mother's old book about Hungarian pastries came to mind.Baking powder was widely used there. Well, since in the USSR at that time there was nothing of the kind (or maybe it was, but no one knew where), then the recipe for this powder was immediately given in the preface. To do this, mix 5 g of soda, 3 g of citric acid, 12 g of flour (can be replaced with starch). This will make a single 20 g serving, which is designed for 500 g flour. You can prepare this mixture for future use, keeping the proportions, and store it in a tight-fitting container.

I have such a recipe (before I only used it, now I use it when there is no store baking powder at hand):

12 tsp flour
5 tsp baking soda
3 tsp lim. kitties
lim. the kit should be small.

Pour everything into a dry jar and shake well.
I always make half a portion - it's more convenient to use.

For some reason, my products with baking powder turn out to be somewhat crooked. Therefore, more often I just put soda

Or translation features. baking powder - baking powder. Soda is not used abroad, but mostly baking powder. So we got a mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod.

Sometimes even here on the forum there are recipes where both baking powder is used: soda and powder. I met such people myself. Perhaps the translators read the bread maker. RU

Albina, change the baking powder. When I bought a good baking powder on the site, I stopped using soda. Everything that is with him turns out very, very well.

that's for sure, a mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod))) someone, apparently, decided to put it more elegantly and instead of baking soda, he wrote baking soda, she is Baking soda)))
You can check what exactly needs to be put in the dough, soda or powder by looking at the recipe - if it already contains acid in the form of sour cream, kefir, mayonnaise, then you can only add soda, which will react with the already existing acid, if in the liquid there are no acids, then the lonely soda will have nothing to "react" with, only the baking powder will work.

A long time ago, as soon as I learned that a baking powder is a mixture of acid and alkali, I make it myself according to this recipe:
