Good Eats Baking Powder is a gluten free baking aid • Baking Powder is the go-to leavener for quick breads, biscuits, cakes and other no-yeast baking recipes • It has no aluminum added and no bitter aftertaste • It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture • Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods • It makes consistently excellent baked goods every time, including cakes and scones
