I’m not big on baking so I apologize in advance if my questions are way too ignorant, but here is goes ……. I found this old Czech cook book (about mid 70’s) and want to try some of the recipes, but am confused about baking powder measurements. First of all I want to make sure “prasek do peciva” is baking powder. It is .. right? And if not, then what is it? :idea: And my second question. Many of the recipes call for various portions of a pack of baking powder, as in: “….. pridejte pul sacku prasku do peciva …” Just how big is the bag? Thank you for your time
kypřící prášek do pečiva = baking powder You can see on the picture that the bag is usually 13 g big. Na 1/2 kg mouky: těsta třená: celý sáček (whole bag) těsta křehká: 2/3 sáčku těsta knedlíková: 1/3 sáčku Links: http://projektysipvz.gytool.cz/Projekty ... px?uid=796 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking_powder
You are awesome! Thank you so very much Troll. So technically adding “… half a pack …” would be either 6g. or 6.5g. Ok, so basically being perfectly “exact” is not overly crucial when it comes to baking powder? Am I understanding it correctly? I'll go with 6.5g when I try it :lol: And again … thank you so very much for taking the time to answer
Any idea how many teaspoon or tablespoon would be in a package? In Canada we cook with this measurements, thank you
