	Baking powder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used in baking.
		Most modern baking powders are double acting, that is, they contain two acid salts, one which reacts at room temperature, producing a rise as soon as the dough or batter is prepared, and another which reacts at a higher temperature, causing a further rise during baking.
		While various baking powders were sold in the first half of the 19th century, our modern variants were discovered by Alfred Bird.

	Baking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baking is the technique of cooking food in an oven by dry heat applied evenly throughout the oven.
		Breads, desserts, and meat (see also roasting) are often baked, and baking is the primary cooking technique used to produce cakes and pastry-based goods such as pies, tarts, and quiches.
		Over time baked goods become hard in a process known as going stale, this is not primarily due to moisture being lost from the baked products but a reorganization of the way in which the water and starch are associated over time, a process similar to recrystallization.

	Cookbook:Baking Powder - Wikibooks
		Baking powder is a leavening agent composed of baking soda and one or more acidic salts, such as tartaric acid (cream of tartar) or dicalcium phosphate dihydrate.
		Baking powder is used in recipes where the pH is 7, or neutral, and pure baking soda would fail to produce bubbles.
		Most baking powders are double action baking powder, which means they have two or more acids in them, one to react and create the carbon dioxide at room temperature, and one that will not react to create the bubbles until the temperature is elevated, in the oven.

	BAKING SODA BAKING POWDER
		Baking soda and/or baking powder are added to batters for leavening; i.e., in order to produce the gas that make cakes, muffins, and quick breads rise.
		Baking powder is a combination of baking soda plus a few other things, most importantly a dry acid.
		The phosphate and tartrate baking powders react rapidly at room temperature to release the leavening gas, which means that the batter has to be cooked quickly after the liquid ingredients have been added.

	Baking Powder and Baking Soda - joyofbaking.com
		When using baking powder or baking soda in a recipe, make sure to sift or whisk with the other dry ingredients before adding to the batter to ensure uniformity.
		Baking powder consists of baking soda, one or more acid salts (cream of tartar and sodium aluminum sulfate) plus cornstarch to absorb any moisture so a reaction does not take place until a liquid is added to the batter.
		Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda (alkali) is about four times as strong as baking powder.

	Baking Powder - Glossary from Hormel Foods
		Baking powder is added to doughs and batters, becoming activated when it is mixed with liquid and continues to react when heated.
		Baking powder is used in recipes that contain no other acidic ingredients, so that the addition of an acidic ingredient helps to create a balance in the chemical processes that occur during mixing and baking.
		Baking powder should be kept in a cool dry area and can be stored for approximately 1 year before needing to be replaced.

	Substituting baking powder for baking soda
		Baking soda is four times as strong as baking powder — so if your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking soda, you would need four teaspoons of baking powder to produce the same amount of lift.
		Baking powder is made of baking soda and exactly the right amount of acid to react with the soda (it also includes corn starch to keep the ingredients from prematurely reacting in the privacy of their container).
		Substituting for a lack of baking powder is very easy: 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar (ignoring the cornstarch) for each teaspoon of baking powder required.

	Baking Powder
		"Baking powder is the leavening agent produced by the mixing of an acid reacting material and sodium bicarbonate with or without starch or flour.
		It is a by-product in the manufacture of "sal soda," also known as "washing soda." When sodium bicarbonate is combined with acid re-acting materials, such as cream of tartar, acid phosphate, or sodium alum, and moistened, it Produces carbon dioxide, the same gas as s produced by yeast fermentation.
		While some manufacturers claim that their baking powders do not deteriorate with age, it is a fact that most baking powders do lose some of their strength in time, especially during periods of the year when there is a great deal of moisture in the air.
