Baking powder and soda: what's the difference?

What do you put in the batter so that the cakes turned out airy, soft, porous? Some say, "of Course, soda." Others respond: "leavening agent". What's the difference? And more popular among Housewives soda or baking powder?

Soda is added to dough for baking cupcakes, cakes, cookies to cakes turned out soft and porous. But the soda is such a magic test will not do, for this, as all know, we add soda to the vinegar. When this reaction occurs and produces carbon dioxide, it is due to this and the result is a soft, fluffy cakes.





We recruit the old-fashioned soda with a teaspoon, then add the vinegar when it's all Sizzling, add to the dough. But experienced cooks suggest soda add to dry products such as flour and vinegar to the liquid. Then, when all this is mixed, reaction takes place directly in the test. But in my experience baking is not always such an air as you want.

Why? Because in this case, to get the desired result, you need to know the ratio of baking soda to vinegar. And how much of this mixture to put, for example 1 kilogram of flour? If you put soda too much, the cakes will not have a pleasant taste. So this question does not bother you can buy in the store leavening agent.

What is the baking powder?

Leavening agent is a mixture of flour, soda and citric acid. Instead of flour, the manufacturer sometimes uses the starch for longer term storage. This mix of products tailored specifically to the soda and acid react with no residue, and the reaction occurred at the right time. The acid and soda react directly in the test and in the heating process that gives the best result when baking. The percentage of this "fusion mixture" is no longer a secret and therefore, Housewives learned to make baking powder test at home.

How to make baking powder test at home.For this we need:
Soda-5 tablespoons
Citric acid 3ложки
Flour-12ложек.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a jar (if you got a drop of water, the reaction may occur in advance). Shake well for complete mixing. To avoid caking, you can add a piece of sugar.

Why in the recipe are baking soda and baking powder?The first time he saw the next ingredient in the recipe, I decided that it was a typo. But no. For products that have natural acid you need to add the baking soda addition. These foods include dairy products — yogurt, whey, cottage cheese, sour cream, yoghurt; fruit and berry juices, honey.
Well, that's all the secrets! published
