I'm attempting to make pancakes and it says baking powder but all we have is backing soda.... Is that the same thing? Is there gonna be a big difference in taste?
Well I just googled and their not the same apparently to turn soda into powder you need either cream of tartar or sour milk.... we never have either of those....
Well I found bisquick! I really wanted to use the other recipie I found but oh well. I think I'm gonna add pancakes to my " can not cook to save life'' along with grilled cheese sandwiches...
Baking powder and soda are definitly 2 different things. If your using self rising flour you probably don't need the powder. You could just skip it, make them thinner crepe type pancakes. They just won't rise up and be fluffy if you don't add the baking powder. Make them thinner by adding a little more milk.
