Raising Agents

Baking powder should not be used. This often contains wheat flour as a filler. There is no need to mix a gluten free baking powder beforehand, simply use the pure raising agents as required.

Bicarbonate of Soda, Sodium Bicarbonate

This white powder releases carbon dioxide when it is mixed with an acid solution and warmed. These gas bubbles expand causing the mixture to rise. If there is no acidity in the mixture, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar should be added in equal quantities and well mixed in.

Cream of Tartar

This is a weak acid in powder form for activating bicarbonate of soda.

Tartaric Acid

This is another weak acid that can be used with bicarbonate of soda as a raising agent.

Citric Acid

This is available in powder and can be used as a substitute for the acidity of lemon juice in recipes. It is particularly useful for winemaking.

Salt, Sodium Chloride

Western diets often contain too much salt. The recipes suggest salt to taste, but keep the quantity as low as possible. Iodised table salt can be an important source of Iodine.
