What to Replace Baking Powder With: Chef's Cheap Tricks
It often happens that you are suddenly overcome by the desire to bake something.
However, it is not always possible to have all the necessary products at home.
And if you don’t have baking powder at home, this is no reason to despair.
Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you what to do in this case.
What can replace baking powder?
In fact, store-bought baking powder is a mixture that contains:
- soda;
- citric acid;
- starch or flour.
So, homemade baking powder is prepared from 5 tablespoons of soda, 3 tablespoons of citric acid and 12 tablespoons of flour (can be replaced with cornstarch).
Mix all the ingredients carefully with a wooden spoon, as it will not allow the mixture to react, unlike a metal one. Pour the finished baking powder into a glass jar, making sure it is dry.
