Baking Powder vs. Baking Soda
❌ Don't
- ✕ Use baking soda alone without an acid.
- ✕ Use baking powder in a recipe with lots of acid.
- ✕ Assume they're interchangeable leavening agents.
- ✕ Over-measure either, causing a bitter or soapy taste.
- ✕ Use old, inactive leavening (flat results).
✅ Do
- ✓ Use baking soda with acidic ingredients (yogurt, lemon, buttermilk).
- ✓ Use baking powder for recipes needing less acid, or just moisture.
- ✓ Know soda needs acid to react; powder has acid built-in.
- ✓ Measure accurately for desired rise and texture.
- ✓ Test freshness: soda with vinegar; powder with warm water.
- ✓ Match the leavener to the recipe's specific requirements.
