How to make baking powder at home: you will need improvised ingredients

Baking powder is a substance used during cooking to make a product loose. As a rule, it is used to prepare some types of dough and to obtain products with a porous structure.

You can also use baking soda slaked with vinegar instead of baking powder, but this mixture is not suitable for all dishes, while baking powder is almost universal. Food blogger Irina Denisenko shared how to make baking powder at home on Instagram.
