Baking powder
泡打粉
Baking powder: bicarbonate of soda pre-mixed with an acid, so it releases gas with water and heat and needs no fermentation. Around a teaspoon goes into 馬拉糕, 光酥餅, walnut cookies, egg waffles, 格仔餅 and 沙翁 batter to open the crumb. Every Australian supermarket baking aisle has it; do not confuse it with self-raising flour, which is flour with the powder already in.
Preparation
Sift it with the flour; once the batter is mixed, use it straight away.
