Answer 6

Yes Baking Powder (Backpulver) was an invention by Dr oetker of Germany. Smile ... germans love it. Many stores carry Natron, though it is not something Germans would buy. They love this Dr Oetker stuff.

Answer 7

It's called Natron and you can find it in the baking section where they have the little packets of yeast, vanilla sugar and all that stuff.  I've never seen a German recipe calling for baking soda, but I need it often when using American recipes.  You can get it at any of the larger supermarkets, like toom or real.

Answer 8

Hey Breezer,

do you have a new hair cut?

Breezer, we don't use backing soda we only use yeast, sourdough, Hirschhornsalz (amonium carbonate)( a little dangerous but you need it for special christmas cakes) and BACKPULVER.

Shleker.

Answer 10

As you correctly point out, baking soda is not the same as baking powder.

Baking Powder is "Backpulver" in German.

Baking Soda is "Speisesoda", 'Backsoda" or "Speisenatron".    It is usually sold under the following brand names: "KaiserNatron®" oder "Bullrich-Salz®".

Hope that helps,
