Baking powder

Baking powder is a complete leavening agent, containing both a base (baking soda) and an acid. It reacts with liquid and heat to produce carbon dioxide, making batters rise.

Essential for cakes, muffins, and quick breads. Most are 'double-acting,' meaning they react once when mixed with liquid and again when exposed to heat.

Storage & tools

  • Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
  • Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
  • Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
  • Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.

Store in a cool, dry place. To test if it's still active, add a teaspoon to a little hot water. It should bubble vigorously.
