Baking Powder 100Gm

Description

Baking powder is a leavening agent commonly used in baking to help dough and batter rise. It typically consists of a combination of an acid (usually cream of tartar) and a base (usually baking soda), along with a starch to prevent clumping. Baking powder works by producing carbon dioxide gas when mixed with moisture and exposed to heat. This gas causes the dough or batter to expand, resulting in a light and fluffy texture in baked goods.

There are two main types of baking powder: single-acting and double-acting. Single-acting baking powder releases carbon dioxide gas as soon as it is mixed with a liquid, while double-acting baking powder releases gas in two stages, once when mixed with liquid and again when exposed to heat.
