- Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the
volume and lighten the texture of baked goods such as muffins, cakes,
scones and North American biscuits.
- Baking powder works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or
dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture
to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
- It is used instead of yeast for end-products where fermentation
flavors would be undesirable or where the batter lacks the elastic structure to hold gas bubbles for
more than a few minutes.
- Because carbon dioxide is released at a
faster rate through the acid-base reaction than through fermentation,
breads made by chemical leavening are called quick breads.
- Most commercially-available baking powders are made up of an alkaline
component (typically baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate), one
or more acid salts, and an inert starch (cornstarch in most cases,
though potato starch may also be used).
- Baking soda is the source of the
carbon dioxide, and the acid-base reaction can be generically
represented as
NaHCO3 + H+ → Na+ + CO2 + H2O.
- Many traditional recipes call for ash water instead of baking
soda, because of some unique qualities: for example, ash water
dripped on hot vegetable oils congeals into a gel-like mixture.
