Step 3: Technique & Execution

After all the ingredients are weighed, mix them together thoroughly by sifting them a number of times or by shaking them well in a can or a jar on which the lid has been tightly closed

Step 4: Technique & Execution

The baking powder thus made should be kept in a can or a jar that may be rendered air-tight by means of a lid, or cover
