About Baking Soda
Use the recipe's stated amount with a level measuring spoon. A scale reading only whole grams may be unsuitable for a quarter teaspoon; extra decimal places in a converter do not improve the scale's resolution.
Baking soda reacts with acidic ingredients in moist batter. Its amount is part of the recipe's balance, so do not add it by a universal acid-to-soda ratio. Salt does not correct excess soda or a soapy taste.
Tips for measuring Baking Soda
- Break up lumps before filling and levelling the spoon.
- Keep baking soda and baking powder clearly labelled.
Common mistakes
- Adding salt to compensate for too much baking soda.
