Notes
Make a larger batch: This recipe scales up easily. If you bake regularly, it's worth making a bigger batch to keep on hand. Just keep the ratio the same - 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 100g of flour.
Check your baking powder first: This is the most important step. Old or expired baking powder means your cakes and muffins won't rise properly, no matter how carefully you follow the recipe. Here's a quick test to check if yours is still active:
1. Boil some water.
2. Place ½ a teaspoon of baking powder into a small ramekin or mug.
3. Pour in about 100ml of the hot water.
4. If it fizzes energetically, it's good to go. If it does nothing or barely fizzes, replace it.
