RE: Baking Soda Biscuits

Hey, @tergan! Nice biscuits you have there; save some for me 🤣

I didn't know Pepsi was acid; now I do. Thanks! I use vinegar or lemon juice whenever I use baking soda--which is all the time lately, as I haven't cooked with baking powder in five years or so. Baking soda + vinegar makes my pancakes fluffy, whereas baking soda alone makes my cookies crispier.

I love that you refer to products and prices in your post. I'm always happy to learn about that. In Venezuela, you pay $1.2 - $2 for a kilo of self-rising wheat flour. Some imported brands are more expensive, sometimes thrice the price or more. AT home, we're a little allergic to gluten, so we take it easy. But, sporadically, we do eat sourdough bread and old-fashioned baguettes (crusty with little yeast, slow fermentation, and enough time in the oven).

Now I'm in the mood for biscuits! 😁

PS. When I joined this community, I read their rules--as I always do--, and I learned that you must appear at least in 2 photos. You don't need to show your face in every photo.

The moderators cautioned me that they wanted to see me making the items so I took a video while making the biscuit and cut out images from that :) Getting on the moderator bad side isn't a great idea when I'm trying to make a good impression

In case you are curious I'm adding the prices because my goal by the end of the year is to have recipes that give maximum nutrition, cover all vitamins, minerals and macronutrients at the absolute lowest possible cost. I know the community is about the best dishes but I'm hoping they will bear with me as I'm trying to make the best nutrition at the best price while still making something the family will eat.

If you are a little allergic to gluten perhaps I'll send along a recipe for cookies (or maybe biscuits) which use Okara (a high protein flour made from soy bean). I haven't figured out an easy way to get rid of the flour but with Okara at least I can limit the quantity while also increasing fiber and protein without compromising taste 😉

As for the cola...My son more or less said WTF! when he saw Pepsi going into the biscuit. I just figured less sugar and get the acid I needed plus drink the rest :) Why not? He scolded me and said next time use lemon juice (except I ran out making hummus)... and I'll save the vinegar until I can figure out how to make it on my own.

Thanks for the support and comments I really do appreciate it.
