Baking Powder 100gmx20

Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent that is commonly used in baking to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods. It is made from a mixture of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid, with a buffer such as cornstarch added to prevent the base and acid from reacting prematurely. The most common acidic ingredient used in baking powder is cream of tartar. Baking powder is often used as a substitute for yeast in recipes that do not require a long rising time.
