Want to make your cake oh so French? Youll need Alsa Baking powder (Fr: Levure chimique Alsatienne)! This infamous pink pack of baking powder is a bit different than the stuff you probably have at home; instead of double acting (when mixed with liquid and again when heated), French Alsa Baking powder is single acting, meaning it works as soon as you mix it.

Each comes with 7 little satchets that hold 1 tbsp of baking powder. Use it to make breads, cakes and experiment. Since it reacts with liquids, youll want to bake right away or your bread, pastry or cake could fall flat! Alsa French Baking powders have been using the same formulation for the last 100 years.

Emile Moench he took the newly created baking powder and made his own formulation; he ended up opening a small shop in France and eventually a factory that made Alsa Baking Powder. The pink packets feature an Alsatian woman or a stork and have for the last century. Copywriting created on July 13, 2013 by Sara Le Panier Francais
