IN this second article about baking
powder as a leavener we present
more interesting recipes (the first
column ran in December).

This metho of leavening baked goods is
very popular because it is relatively easy and
once a list of basic baking ingredients i is pur-
chased it produces fast, inexpensive, and deli-
cious items.

The baking powder when mixed with a liq-
uid produces carbo: dioxide gas which gener-
ates millions of gas pockets and the product is
raised.

There is a second stage to this procedure
when the product is placed in a preheated
oven. Each little gas pocket expands because
of the heat — completing the double action of
a modern baking powder.

You can make your own baking powder at
home (or if you run out at the cottage): 50g
of cream of tartar, 25g baking soda. and 25g
of corn starch. The function of the corn
starch is to absorb the moisture in the air.

You have to
work fast with
your home
made baking
powder because
it tends to
release all the
CO2 in one
action.
. For home use
— unless you
do a tot of baking — purchase baking powder
in relatively small amounts. The fresher the
better.

Here are three great formulas: we hope
you will find them useful.

The first is 2 mastermix, it can stay for 3-4
weeks covered in the refrigerator.

Once you have the mix prepared, take out
what you need and add a desired amount of
raisins, chopped dried apricots, chopped dried
figs, or chopped pruncs.

See Master Mix page 21
