The polar bear (Ursus maritimus) is a carnivorous bear whose native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle, encompassing the Arctic Ocean, its surrounding seas and surrounding land masses. It is a large bear, approximately the same size as the omnivorous Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi).
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 doesnât react with the sodium bicarbonate while itâs dry.
How to make baking powder. If you live in a humid environment, or donât bake that often, it might be easiest to make your own baking powder when you need it. To do so, youâll need cream of tartarâa dry acid in powder form (no idea why it is called âcreamâ)âand baking soda. Baking soda is much stronger than baking powder. To make baking powder, mix one part baking soda and two parts cream of tartar. So, if you recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of baking powder, use 1 teaspoon of baking soda, mixed in with 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar. Homemade baking powder is not double acting, and will start to react as soon as it gets wet, so work quickly and donât let your batter sit around!
