    i have just compared both of mine, and the only difference is that the baking powder looks more powderey like flour and the bicarb looks more like salt granuals.

    thought i would test the both in vingear and they both fizz so thats not much help either!

    Thanks Red Ballon, off to make some buttermilk scones - to use up my buttermilk left over from making all my butter with my cheap cream !!! (see my other recent post). I want to try the KFC Buttermilk biscuits that we had when last in florida - they were fab !!!

    Just realised that I must have thrown them out as I never knew what they each were - oh well off to the shops - thanks
