Essential Information About Baking Powder

3. Leavening Agent: Baking powder is a chemical leavening agent that helps baked goods rise3.
4. Types: There are two main types of baking powder:
   • Single-acting: Reacts when mixed with liquid
   • Double-acting: Reacts twice, once when mixed with liquid and again when exposed to heat
5. Shelf Life: Baking powder typically has a shelf life of 6-12 months. Always check the expiration date before use3.

7. Storage: Store baking powder in a cool, dry place to maintain its effectiveness3.
8. Testing Freshness: To test if your baking powder is still active, mix 1 teaspoon with 1/3 cup hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it's still good to use3.
9. Common Usage: Typically, recipes call for 1 to 2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour3.
