Is baking mix the same as baking soda or is it the same as flour?

Question

is it. my mom thinks that baking mix is the same thing as baking soda

Answer 1

Baking Soda is an ingredient in a Baking Mix.
Example: Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (orange box)

A Baking Mix is a complete combination of Dry ingredients awaiting only the liquid ingredients (oil / milk / eggs / butter [depending on recipe] ) to complete a baked good.
Example: Betty Crocker Cake Mix

Flour is an ingredient in a Baking Mix also.

In other words a Baking Mix is a pre-measured combination of dry products used to create a baked good.
They make baking easier, as you only need to add a minimal number of liquid ingredients, mix, pop in the oven, and like magic, you've got something to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Answer 2

Baking powder and baking soda are slightly different. Baking soda is an ingredient in baking powder, along with several other components. Usually, a baking powder is designed to contain all the needed components to create a leavening chemical reaction, only one of which is baking soda. So, if you want to substitute baking powder for baking soda, you may want to use slightly more than the recipe calls for to make sure that you still get the same amount of baking soda called for. However, this will also change the taste of your cookies somewhat. Swapping out sugar is not as big a deal, although brown sugar has a more complex flavour.

Answer 3

Baking mix is the same as Bisquick, it's flour with baking soda and/or baking powder added. Baking soda is the same as bicarbonate of soda, like Arm and Hammer, that you can use for baking or cleaning or as an air freshener, like in your fridge.

Answer 4

No.. Baking mix can be a mixture that is ready to be added to water or milk and it alrready has a pre-measured amount of baking power and flour in it.. It is possible that it already has soda.. depending on what is being baked.

There is no such thing as a BAKING SODA.. There is SODA that is used for baking
