Bicarbonate of soda

Baking & doughs

Bicarbonate of soda, also known as baking soda, is a versatile leavening agent. It reacts with acids (e.g., from buttermilk or lemon juice) to produce carbon dioxide, making baked goods light and airy. It's milder than baking powder and leaves no soapy aftertaste when used correctly.

Bicarbonate of soda is used in recipes like "Cookies" and "Kokosflockenkuchen". It is frequently combined with eggs, sugar, plain flour, butter, and buttermilk, highlighting its typical use as a leavening agent in sweet baked goods, often alongside acidic ingredients like buttermilk.
