Bicarbonate of Soda

Description

Bicarbonate of Soda, also known as baking soda, is a leavening agent; it is used to lighten the texture and increase the volume of baked goods. When combined with an acidic ingredient such as cream of tartar, buttermilk, yoghurt or molasses, bicarbonate of soda causes carbon dioxide bubbles to be released. These bubbles in turn make dough or batter rise while baking.
