Objective
To identify the relationship between the amount of baking powder with the texture of the pancake. To analyze the effect of baking powder in the taste of pancake.

What is Baking Powder?

Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods such as muffins, cakes, scones and American-style biscuit. Baking powder is baking soda with acid added. This neutralizes the base and produces more CO2 according to the + + following equation:

NaHCO 2+ H Na + H 2 + CO 2 O

Variable of the experiment

Control : amount of salt, sugar, flour, egg, milk and margarine Manipulate : Amount of baking powder Responding : Texture of pancake

Baking powder and baking soda both produce carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas that will push the batter side-ways and upward. They raise baked products. Flat cakes and biscuits dont look very tempting! Baking soda works best with an acidic ingredient. Baking powder contains both baking soda and a dry acidic ingredient, which raises

Effect of Using Too Much Baking Powder

If too much baking powder is used in the recipe, this produces big bubbles that run into each other, rise to the surface and pop. There goes the leavening, and the result is that the muffins, cakes or quick breads become heavy or sunken.
