...skimp?
The reason I am asking is that I don't like the taste of either one
and when there is too much in a recipe, I can't take it. For a cake I skimp a little and
beat the yolks and whites of the eggs separately with some of the sugar like Austrian cooks.
Do you have any suggestions?
I think I have missed the technique of adding the soda to milk to let it froth up a little to get rid of the chemical taste. I have an idea that in the old days that is what they did.
If an old recipe calls for soda water, it is not referring to club soda, but to a little water from the faucet mixed with the soda measure?
I am confused about it because I keep thinking that soda is to be added with the other dry ingredients, but in an old date-nut recipe it says to put the soda with dates and warm water. It does not ruin the action of the soda. But baking powder is different, is that the reason there is double-acting baking powder? It can't be "delayed" like soda?
Ta!
