Well then—isn'tit just common sense to use a special baking powder, too? Ordinary baking powder may be all right for or- dinary baking, but luscious, light, fine-textured cakes need a special leavening action to bring out the best in them. ROYAL is the special baking powder for cakes— l. Royal is made with wholesome cream of tar- and here's why: tar; Royal never imparts any bitter taste to cakes. 2. Royal has a steady action that gives batters a continuous, even expansion. That's what makes Royal cakes so velvety fine in texture and so beautifully even in grain—so feathery light and tender. 3. Royal's steady leavening action helps make the kind of cakes that keep their precious moisture and delicious fresh flavor so that they don't dry out and get crumbly for days. STEADY BAKING POWDER ACTION This is the cake that steady baking powder action made. The grain is firm and fine—the texture light and fluffy. There are no big air holes or tunnels. This cake will keep its precious moisture and flavor /or days. UNEVEN BAKING POWDER ACTION This shows how a cake may be ruined by uneven baking powder action. The grain is coarse and crumbly—the texture spoiled by holes and tunnels. This cake will dry out, lose its flavor, and get stale more quickly. Remember then—the perfect combination for fine cakes is special cake flour and Royal, the special baking powder for cakes.

There seemed to be no really scientific or accurate instructions which could be used with assurance of satisfactory results. It appeared that the use of baking powder was a matter of personal experience with one brand that might or might not be desirable or efficient. It was discovered that the present baking powder recipe books did not contain recipes now used in the best homes, and that the indefinite instructions seemed of little value to cooks in using any kind of baking powder. Therefore, it was quickly decided that the Ryzon Baking Book should be as much of an improvement over previous baking powder recipe books, as Ryzon, The Perfect Baking Powder, is an improve- ment compared with the old kinds of baking powder.

  • Quick Breads
    FN-SSB.923 Quick Breads KNEADS A LITTLE DOUGH While baking yeast bread may be intimidating to some people, there are some “quick” options to get you started in the kitchen. Muffins, coffeecakes, scones, waffles, and pancakes are all breads that can be made in a short period of time and with very little effort. The difference between yeast breads and quick breads is the leavening agent. Yeast is a living cell that multiplies rapidly when given the proper food, moisture, and warmth. It must “proof”, or rise, to allow the production of carbon dioxide that allows the bread to rise during baking. Quick breads use the chemical leavening agents of baking powder and/or baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda do not require time for rising, so the batter for quick bread is cooked immediately after mixing. The best thing about quick breads is that the options are limitless when it comes to ingredients. The limiting factor in good quick breads is the correct mixing. Over mixing or under mixing will result in a poor quality product. BASIC INGREDIENTS Different quick bread batters are created by varying the ingredients and combining them in a certain way to form the structure of the bread. The possibilities are endless, but the common factor is the basic ingredients of fat, sugar, eggs, flour, liquid, leavening agent, and a flavoring ingredient. The flavoring might be a fruit or vegetable, a liquid such as buttermilk or fruit juice, an extract, herbs, or spices. Depending how the ingredients are mixed together will determine the texture and quality.

    Pancakes Around the World Grades 6-12 ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies, PE Objectives Students will read about Pancake Tuesday, conduct further research and write a short play about the event for Pre-K - 2nd grade students and organize a pancake race for those students. Students will learn about pancakes in other cultures and choose one pancake and culture for in-depth research. Students will perform hands-on activities to understand chemical reactions with leavening agents which produce carbon dioxide in baked foods. Students will extract yeast from common foods. Students will apply mathematical principles to increase and decrease a recipe to produce the number of servings needed. Vocabulary baking powder—a mixture of baking soda, cream of tartar and cornstarch that forms carbon dioxide (CO2) when mixed in dough or batter baking soda—the common name for sodium bicarbonate. When combined with acidic substances, forms CO2. carbon dioxide—a clear gas with no odor or taste that is a byproduct of respiration.

  • The Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder 22 May 2014, by Matt Shipman, North Carolina State University
    The difference between baking soda and baking powder 22 May 2014, by Matt Shipman, North Carolina State University Baking powder addresses this problem because it is "double acting" – it has different ingredients that create CO2 gas at different stages of the baking process. All baking powders contain sodium bicarbonate (just like baking soda). But baking powder also contains two acids. One of these acids is called monocalcium phosphate. Monocalcium phosphate doesn't react with the sodium bicarbonate while it's dry. But as soon as the baking powder is stirred into a wet dough or batter, the two ingredients begin to react, releasing bubbles of CO2 and causing chemical leavening. This is what happens when baking soda and acid (in this case vinegar) interact. Credit: Kate Ter Haar, via But to extend the chemical leavening process, Wikimedia Commons. baking powder also contains a second acid, either sodium acid pyrophosphate or sodium aluminum sulfate. Neither of these acids react with sodium bicarbonate until they are both: A) wet (i.e., stirred What's the difference between baking soda and into the batter) and B) hot. baking powder? Short answer: acid. But it can make a big difference for baked goods, so let's In other words, sodium acid pyrophosphate and explain. sodium aluminum sulfate won't start reacting with the sodium bicarbonate until after you've put the Baking soda has only one ingredient: sodium dough or batter in the oven.

In 1796, the first American cookbookAmerican Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in Hartford, Connecticut. Although many scholars referred to it as “the second declaration of American independence” the cooking patterns presented in Simmons’ book still resembled the old English tradi- tion. The purpose of this paper is to explore the British origins of the first American cookbook and to demonstrate that it is, in essence,UMCS a typical eighteenth-century English cookery book. Key Words: American Cookery, Amelia Simmons, cuisine, cookbook. American Cookery by Amelia Simmons was published in 1796, twenty years after the Declaration of Independence. In Feeding America – the Historic American Cookbook Project, scholars have argued that American Cookery deserves to be called “a second Declaration of American Independence,” as it was the first cookbook written by an American writer (Feeding America 2003). Most researchers point to certain features that make American Cookery an American cookbook. Karen Hess, one of the major food studies researchers poses a question: “what makes American Cookery so very American?” and answers that “it is precisely the bringing together of certain native American products and English culinary traditions” (Hess 1996, xv).
