Food Facts & Glossary of Baking Ingredients

  • plain flour is all-purpose flour made from wheat. Also available gluten-free from most major supermarkets.

  • baking powder is a raising agent; consists of two parts cream of tartar to one part bicarbonate of soda. Gluten-free baking powder is made without cereals.

  • bicarbonate of soda is also called baking or carb soda.

  • rice bran is the hard outer layer of the rice grain; it is a byproduct of the rice milling process (the conversion of brown rice to white rice). It is very high in antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. Its high oil content means rice bran turns rancid quickly, however, these days most rice bran is stabilized making it less likely to go off, and increasing its shelf life.

  • dairy-free spread (dairy-free margarine) is a commercially produced margarine, free of dairy products.

  • vanilla extract is vanilla beans that have been submerged in water. Vanilla essence is not a suitable substitute.

  • gluten-free soy milk : sometimes malt and barley extract are added to soy milk to make it more palatable. Ensure you use gluten-free soy milk if you have a gluten allergy.
