LorAnn Baker's Ammonia ( Ammonium Carbonate) 2.7 ounce Shaker Jar

So, this smells exactly as it says on the bottle, folks. Although Bakers Ammonia is not a common ingredient in the United States, I made a variety of cookies from around the world this past Christmas, and a couple of them required it. I'll be honest, when I first opened the container and smelled it, I was terrified. I thought to myself, "How am I going to feed this to people?" Nonetheless, I decided to go with it. Fear grows as the ingredients in the blender combine. It has a strong odor. Panic as you remove them from the oven. Burning in the eyes Then you take a bite of the cookie. delish! I don't understand it, and I don't care; I just wanted to know what was going on with those cookies. It's delicious. Don't be afraid; just go ahead and do it.

As a replacement for the standard sugar cut-in, I use this with a family recipe from the late 1800s. They are light, airy, yet hold their shape and don't fall apart, and if you don't roll the dough too thin, you get a substantial cookie (a good 1/4") that isn't tough, has visible layers, and has an excellent 'crumb'. The fact that no one eats the raw dough is a plus. As a result, you get to bake all of the cookies. Another advantage is that it cleans your oven while you're at it! (Kidding!) ), but I must caution you: DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN DOOR TO INSPECT THEM. Your corneas will almost certainly be burned off by the fumes. If the door has a window, use it. Plus, they only cook for 6 minutes, so I think you'll be able to contain your excitement during that time. br>br>The dough should be flavored (anise or lemon works best) and frosted. If you want to go all out, use royal icing instead of buttercream. The frosting provides sweetness to the dough, which isn't very sweet. br>br>Lorann Oils has the best baking supplies around, and you'll be hard pressed to find them anywhere else. Yes, they're a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The flavors they use- emulsions and extracts- are excellent and are used by professional bakers. I strongly advise you to look through their website and make a wish list.

CON: There are none that come to mind.

I had never used this before, but after seeing "Vanilla Dreams" cookies on a cooking website and on Pinterest, I went to the King Arthur Flour website to get the recipe; one recipe made 48 cookies, and they were light and crisp. The cookies had a lot of sugar in them - they were quite sweet. However, it was delicious. As a result, if you use the entire amount of sugar, proceed with caution. This product, also known as hartshorn, is said to be a key ingredient in some cookies. However, there aren't many options for recipes. I saw some warnings online about not eating the raw dough because it could cause a lot of flatulence, but others said they had no problems. I kept the raw dough away from DH because I knew he'd have a lot of flatulence if he ate it. He doesn't require any assistance, so don't bother! br>br>The smell of this baker's ammonia will startle you, so don't think you'll take a sniff and decide it's not that bad. THAT'S HOW BAD IT IS! You'll notice the acrid smell even if you hold it 12 to 18 inches from your nose when you open it. Wowza! It irritates me. You'll only have to go through the "sniff test" once, and you'll remember what you've learned. It will have a faint odor in the raw dough and as it bakes, but it will fade away. Even if the product is sealed tightly inside the small jar, it will evaporate over time.

I bought it for a slightly different reason than most people would expect. When ammonium carbonate is dissolved in a small amount of water, it produces a very unpleasant vapor. You can make some pretty amazing patinas on the copper if you seal it in a box with pure copper. The colors are bright turquoise and other blues, and the ammonium carbonate appears to be fairly pure. It's easy to dissolve and did exactly what I needed it to do. Also, there's a lot of product for the money. I'll buy more when I run out, but this jar will last a long time.

In January 3019, we purchased Ammonium Carbonate (Baker's Ammonia) for our next cookie baking project. We opened for the first time today, April 11, 2019, to be used. What a shock; the jar's contents were solid and could not be extracted or even scraped out. This was a condition for a product with a "best by date" of August 2020 on the jar. WHAT a letdown, and it's too late to get a refund from the seller. br>I'm hoping it was just bad luck; However, I would be hesitant to purchase this item again. Even though it is probably not the best practice for this product, if I were to order it again, I would open it and double-check the content consistency.

Baking leavening agent with a lot of history. Please take note of this. It does cake up in the container, so you'll have to scrape some out before you can use it. TIPS FOR SUCCESS. Because the gas must escape, only use this in thin items (such as crackers, pancakes, or cookies). Once this is added, do not eat the raw dough. If the dough/batter smells like ammonia, don't worry; it will all evaporate as it cooks. In recipes, replace baking soda with 1 tsp Bakers Ammonia (1 tsp baking soda = 1 tsp Bakers Ammonia). Will make baked goods crispier and snappier (so don't expect soft cookies).
