Has anyone ever had a problem with the baking powder in a recipe leaving little bits of it in your finished product? I bit into a homemade biscuit yesterday and got a bite of baking powder - I can't think of much that would taste worse than that stuff does!
Any tips on how to remedy this? I did stir it up in the container before I measured it out but what else can be done to prevent that from happening?

Re: Question About Baking Powder
Sheila,
I have had this happen to me as I make a lot of baking powder biscuits. My remedy for the baking powder clump in a biscuit or two was finding one of those "old fashioned" sifters at the thrift store. The kind That you can dump all your dry ingredients in and then it has a screen at the bottom and you squeeze the handle and it has a rotating "thingy" at the bottom that pushes all the dry ingredients through the screen. It mixes them as it sifts them but I still give it a couple of stirs while still dry anyway. If you can find one of those? You'r golden! I have two and would send you one if postage wasn't so outrageous from Canada to the USA.

Thanks MJ. I do have a fine mesh sieve that would do the trick - I just have to remember to use it!!Prairie Waif2 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 1:31 pm Sheila,

I haven't had that problem, perhaps it's because I whisk all dry ingredients together very well.

Re: Question About Baking Powder
hmmmmm...I always do that too. Maybe I had some overly lumpy baking powder - it has been hanging around for awhile.
My mom said that her mother always ground the baking powder in her hand with the back of a spoon before putting it with the other ingredients. She said she remembers being very little and hearing the spoon "clink" against my grandmother's wedding ring.
