Applications

Baking soda is used, among other things, as a leavening agent (as part of baking powder, but also separately in various baked goods), acid regulator, stabilizer, and in the medical field as a remedy against excess stomach acid.

Baking soda is both a cleaning agent and a component of baking powder. Add baking soda together with something acidic to a batter. For example buttermilk, yogurt, or lemon juice. This is a requirement for good rising. Use one teaspoon of lemon juice per two grams of baking soda. Most recipes use one teaspoon of baking soda, which corresponds to a weight of two grams. To make baking powder yourself, use this ratio (for 120 grams of flour):

• half a teaspoon baking soda;
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar powder or lemon juice

This baking powder cannot be stored for long and is therefore for immediate use. It starts working immediately when it comes into contact with an acid. That is why it is added to the batter as late as possible. For an even distribution in the batter, it must be well mixed. If you want baking powder that can be stored longer, choose the recipe below:

• 15 grams baking soda;
• 18 grams cream of tartar
• 11 grams cornstarch (this is added to absorb moisture and slow down the reaction between acid and base.

Another simpler recipe is the following:

• 2 parts baking soda;
• 1 part cream of tartar
• 1 part cornstarch
