ing Tor baking pOW0eI dnu
sweet milk, the following rule
may be followed:
a teaspoons of any baking
powder is composed of l tea
spoon soda, 2 teaspoons acid,
and 1 teaspoon starch to keep
it dry. When moisture and
heat are applied the soda and
acid act together releasing the
carbon dioxide gas in the soda.
This gas lifts the mixture when
heated and makes it light.
When sour milk is used in a
mixture it furnishes both acid
and moisture. Therefore soda
used with sour milk has the
same effect as baking powder
with sweet milk.
Only IL teaspoon soda is
needed to act with one cup OF
clabbered milk. If A teaspoons
baking powder are called for to
/ cup of sweet milk, and you
wish to change the milk to sour
use IL teaspoon soda with the
/ cup of sour milk. But A tea
spoons baking powder contains
1 teaspoon soda, so to make the
mixture equally light you must
get IL teaspoon soda from
somewhere. This is done by adj
ditional baking powder.
In the same manner use IL
teaspoon soda with each cup
molassess used and the differ
ence in the amount of soda is
made up by additional baking
powder.
Some old fashioned recipes
call for more than IL teaspoon
soda to the cup of sour milk.
The reason is that the method
used was to put the soda into
sour milk and when it foamed
much of the gas was lost. Most
new recipes put the soda into
the dry ingredients and less gas
is lost in the mixing.
If eggs in a mixture are beat
en- light to enclose air and make
the mixture rise, IL teaspoon
baking powder is added for each
egg omitted. But if the eggs
are not beaten no extra baking
powder is required. One egg is
equal to 2 tablespoons of liquid.
Therefore add 2 tablespoons of
other liquid for each egg omit
