About the product

Baking Soda, also known as bicarbonate of soda, is a highly versatile and essential household and baking ingredient. In cooking and baking, it acts as a leavening agent, helping doughs and batters rise when combined with acidic ingredients such as lemon juice, vinegar, yogurt, or buttermilk. This reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, creating a light, fluffy texture in cakes, cookies, pancakes, and other baked goods. It is especially useful in recipes that require quick rising without yeast.

Beyond the kitchen, baking soda is widely used for cleaning and deodorizing purposes. It helps remove stains, neutralize odors in refrigerators, carpets, and shoes, and can even be used as a gentle scrubbing agent for kitchen surfaces. Its mild alkaline nature makes it effective yet safe for everyday use.

Packed in a convenient form, Baking Soda is an economical and multipurpose product that belongs in every home, offering both culinary and household benefits in one simple ingredient.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)

Buttermilk biscuits are soft, flaky, and buttery baked goods that are perfect for breakfast or as a side with meals. To prepare them, start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix the dry ingredients well so everything is evenly combined.

Next, add ½ cup cold butter (cut into small cubes). Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture looks crumbly with small pea-sized bits of butter. This step is important for creating flaky layers.

Slowly pour in ¾ cup buttermilk and gently mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense instead of light.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out rounds using a biscuit cutter or glass. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and fluffy. Serve warm with butter or jam.
