Favourit Bicarbonate of Soda 200g | Baking Soda

Favourit bicarbonate of soda, 200g. The smaller tub, which suits a household that bakes occasionally rather than weekly.

Bicarbonate raises by reacting with an acid, which is why recipes calling for it also call for buttermilk, yoghurt, lemon juice or vinegar. Without the acid there is nothing for it to react with and the loaf will not rise.

It is not interchangeable with baking powder, which contains its own acid and works on its own. Substituting one for the other is a common and disappointing mistake.

Product Details

• 200g tub
• Bicarbonate of soda
• Needs an acid such as buttermilk to work
• Not interchangeable with baking powder

The smaller tub is worth buying if you bake rarely, since bicarbonate does lose strength once it has been open a long time.

Store it sealed and dry, away from anything damp.

In Ireland and Northern Ireland it is usually sold as bread soda, which is the same product.
