Can you use Baking soda instead of Baking powder in doughnuts?

Yes. There are ways to use baking soda rather than baking powder, but they cannot be used the same way.





-You can make your own baking powder,





2 tbsp. cream of tartar


1 tbsp. baking soda


1 tbsp. cornstarch





Sift together. Store in airtight container. One teaspoon of this is equal to 1 teaspoon store bought baking powder.If you use homemade baking powder, be sure to bake your recipe right away after mixing the ingredients. There are commercial baking powders that will allow you to let a recipe sit for a while before baking, but it's generally a good plan to start heating the food immediately, since the reaction that causes baked goods to rise starts as soon as the wet ingredients are added.








OR





1/2 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt = 1 teaspoon baking powder





If you use the buttermilk/yogurt option, remove 1/2 c of liquid from your recipe and replace it with the buttermilk/yogurt.
