Baking powder from Foster Clark's in a 450 g tin, for sponges, cupcakes, muffins, scones and pancakes.
Foster Clark's Baking Powder comes in a tall dark blue tin with the Foster Clark's name in white, the words baking powder and a picture of a sugar-dusted jam sponge cake with a slice cut out, with Net wt. 450g at the base. The photos show it next to a bowl of flour, eggs and a whisk, and beside frosted cupcakes with a measuring spoon. As general background, baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent made of a carbonate or bicarbonate and a weak acid, kept apart by a drying agent such as cornstarch. It releases carbon dioxide into a batter or dough, so the bubbles expand and the bake rises and lightens. Sift it evenly with the flour, mix the batter just until combined, and get it into the oven promptly. Use it for sponges, cupcakes, muffins, scones, pancakes and quick breads.
