[QUOTE="Lil, post: 693418, member: 17309"] You know, I'm not sure. They usually also put some cornstarch in there to keep it from clumping. Probably looking for a substitution for one or the other and just googling what the difference between them is. Just one of those things I've read somewhere. I've still got no idea why buttermilk biscuits have baking powder and baking soda in them. Buttermilk is acidic, so you should be able to just use baking soda...but every recipe I've seen for them calls for both. Then again, I can't make a decent biscuit to save my life. lol More or less. In baking powder, the acidic cream of tartar is activated by liquid. So if you want to see if your baking powder is still good, put some in a little bowl and add water and see if it foams. To check your baking soda, do the same but add vinegar. [/QUOTE]
