    Yes. The thread I quoted (not the link to the website) covers all options for Baking SODA and Baking POWDER and contains explanations of the differences between both and uses for them.

    Its so long since I had to think about the difference - probably when I was at HIgh school - which was not today nor yesterday, as I usually just have plain flour or SR flour, I had forgotten what the differences were!

  • I was planning on making parkin today,but I've just discovered that I don't have any bicarb,which the recipe needs.Can I use baking powder as a substitute,and if so,would I use the same quantity (1 teaspoon)?

    I also have cream of tartar,but I don't think that it would work on it's own.

    Thanks.
