Baking powder

Baking powder is an indispensable assistant in cooking, giving baked goods lightness and airiness. This simple yet important ingredient was popular in Russian cuisine of the 19th century when housewives aimed to create perfect dough. It consists of potato starch, citric acid, and baking soda—a powerful combination that triggers a reaction producing carbon dioxide bubbles. This gives the dough a delicate texture and fluffiness. Ideal for making pies, cakes, and rolls, helping them become soft and airy. By mixing all the ingredients, we get a universal homemade baking powder that can be used for any baking. It adds lightness to the dough while keeping the taste natural without any off-flavors.
