Baking powder (Calumet) is an American-invented leavening agent that is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar. It was created in the late 1800s to early 1900s by Alfred Bird of Birmingham, England. The exact date is unknown, but the first published recipe using it appeared in an English cookbook in 1843.

Baking powder is used to add lift and lightness to baked goods. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into the batter or dough, which causes the batter or dough to rise. Baking powder is available in two forms: single-acting and double-acting.

Single-acting baking powders are activated by moisture, so they must be added to the wet ingredients of a recipe. Double-acting baking powders are activated by both moisture and heat, so they can be added to dry or wet ingredients. Enjoy bulk Calumet baking soda at wholesale pricing.
