What goes with Baking Powder?
Baking powder combines an alkaline gas source with acid salts and usually starch that helps keep the dry mixture free-flowing. Its purpose is expansion in a hydrated batter or dough. Double-acting products release part of their gas during mixing and more during heating; the acid blend governs that pattern, so products should not be treated as identical.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Baking Powder?
The useful partners are those that build or soften the walls around gas cells: flour supplies starch and, in wheat mixtures, gluten; eggs help set the structure; dairy provides water and flavour; fat changes tenderness. In savoury constructions, specify what is being lifted and how it is cooked, rather than attributing an aroma to the powder.
