When used in combination with buttermilk, lemon juice, cocoa or other acidic ingredients, it causes dough and batters to rise beautifully without yeast! Our pure baking soda is made from the deposits of mineralized sodium bicarbonate and is extracted by a simple water process that uses no chemicals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When using baking soda in combination with acidic ingredients, such as buttermilk, molasses, cocoa or yogurt, the sodium bicarbonate releases carbon dioxide that causes the batter or dough to rise. In addition to carbon dioxide gas and bubbles, baking soda also yields a chewy texture that is essential to many baked goods-think of your favorite chocolate chip cookies. It's also a great household cleanser and eliminates odors. The package of our baking soda features a terrific recipe for Lemon Sugar Cookies-be sure to click the Recipes tab to find dozens of other fantastic recipes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Out of baking powder? You can use baking soda under certain conditions. Make sure your recipe contains an acidic ingredient-or add it! Quick rule of thumb: to properly activate 1\/2 teaspoon of baking soda, you'll need 1 cup of buttermilk or yogurt, or 1 teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Also, keep in mind that baking soda is four times more powerful-yikes!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBaking Soda, aka Sodium Bicarbonate: Dozens of Uses!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Of course baking soda is a must-have for any baker, but did you know there's a baking soda solution for almost any household purposes-and some home remedies as well?
