Royal - Baking Powder

Product Information

Initially in partnership as Biddle & Hoagland, the Hoaglands moved from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Chicago, leaving Biddle behind, and then to New York. They incorporated there as the Royal Baking Powder Company in 1868. Various battles for control ensued between the Hoagland brothers and their one-time employee William Ziegler. Finally, on March 2, 1899, Ziegler established the New Jersey-based Royal Baking Powder Corporation which combined the three major cream of tartar baking powder companies then in existence in the United States: Dr. Price (Ziegler), Royal (Joseph Hoagland) and Cleveland (Cornelius Nevius Hoagland).

When combined with water, the sodium bicarbonate and acid salts react to produce gaseous carbon dioxide.

By the 1970s Royal had ceased to produce a cream of tartar baking powder. For those who wanted something similar, James Beard suggested combining two parts cream of tartar to one part baking soda just before using it, since the mixture would not keep. [3] :175Cream of tartar was an expensive ingredient in the United States, since it had to be imported from France. In the 1880s, several companies developed double-action baking powders containing cheaper alternative acids known as alums, a class of compounds involving double sulfates of aluminium.

A fast-acting acid reacts in a wet mixture with baking soda at room temperature, and a slow-acting acid does not react until heated. When the chemical reactions in baking powders involve both fast- and slow-acting acids, they are known as "double-acting"; those that contain only one acid are "single-acting".

Moisture and heat can cause baking powder to lose its effectiveness over time, and commercial varieties have a somewhat arbitrary expiration date printed on the container. Regardless of the expiration date, the effectiveness can be tested by placing a teaspoon of the powder into a small container of hot water. If it bubbles vigorously, it is still active and usable.

BAKE IT WITH ROYAL AND BE SURE

Baking powder is made up of a base, an acid, and a buffering material to prevent the acid and base from reacting before their intended use. [5] [6] Keep Royal baking powder close by when you’re making scones, birthday cakes and fluffy American pancakes. To make self-raising flour, add one teaspoon of baking powder to 110g plain flour. Baking powder is also a great deodoriser - put some in a bowl in your fridge to get rid of any unwanted odours. Joseph C. Hoagland lived on Fifth Avenue, and worked at 171 Duane Street where he manufactured a brand that made millions of dollars. A culinary revolution was started by the powder that made cake rise and gave it more flavour. Hoagland excelled in marketing and branding their product with such logos such as "absolutely pure" that rendered it better advertised than other bakers. By the close of 19th century Royal Baking Powder was on six continents, a truly international brand. Hoagland was one of the "kings of New York" business world.
