Baking powder is an essential baking ingredient in some cases, so it is important to use it if it is included in the recipe.
However, sometimes it is simply not at hand.
In such cases, there is no need to be upset: the product can always be replaced.
Manufacturers make baking powder from quite accessible components that are present in your kitchen. You will need to combine twelve spoons of flour with three spoons of citric acid and five spoons of soda in a dry container.
High-quality baking powder is ready.
If the dough contains any acidic component (kefir, for example), then you can safely use soda instead of baking powder.
This method has been proven for decades.
For lean dough (it is made with water), ordinary carbonated water is quite suitable. In this case, the dough will have the texture we need.
You can enhance the composition with a small amount of citric acid and salt.
