It is important to know that you can prepare both a small amount of baking powder and a large amount. There is a "golden" proportion, thanks to which baking powder is endowed with its properties.

If you want to prepare the component in reserve, then take 12 parts of flour, 5 parts of soda and 3 parts of citric acid. The components are thoroughly mixed and sent to a dry container. The container should have a tight-fitting lid.

It is worth noting that wheat flour can be safely replaced with starch.

You can also prepare a small portion of baking powder - just keep the proportions and "arm yourself" with kitchen scales. In this case, pay attention to the following: take 3 grams of citric acid, 5 grams of soda and 12 grams of flour.

Using homemade baking powder is easy: for every glass of flour, take 5 grams of baking powder.
