About Baking powdet
Baking powder is a common leavening agent used in baking to help doughs and batters rise, creating light and fluffy textures in cakes, muffins, and breads. It typically consists of a combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), an acid like cream of tartar or sodium aluminum sulfate, and a moisture-absorbing starch such as cornstarch. This blend activates when mixed with liquid, producing carbon dioxide gas that causes the mixture to expand. Originating as a more convenient alternative to yeast, it is widely used in Western baking and has global applications in cakes and quick breads. Baking powder is low in calories but high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. While generally considered safe, excessive use in recipes can lead to overly salty flavors or a bitter aftertaste. It’s best used in moderation for optimal flavor and texture.
