Q: Can baking soda be substituted for baking powder? Natalie, CT
A: These two baking staples are both leavening agents but they work differently so they are not interchangeable. Baking soda is required i recipes that have an acidic ingredient such as chocolate or sour cream, and it reacts to the acid, causing the the batter or dough to rise yielding fluffy cakes or muffins. Baking powder consists of baking soda, cream of tartar and cornstarch. It is used in recipes without an acidic ingredient because it already contains an acid (the cream of tartar) that will help the batter rise and produce that fluffy consistency.

You do not need to peel them because they will fall off after roasting. If you do not want any peels in your final dish you can peel them first. Either way, they are easy and delicious. ( reply to this post )

THANK YOU for saying to check! I see so many kosher recipes that don't mention that step and it can be time consuming. I love your idea of apricot jelly and rosemary - that sounds delicious ( reply to this post )
