Instructions

First off, please make sure your baking soda is Paleo friendly.
Whisk ingredients together.
Store in an airtight container if there is any remaining baking powder and use within a few weeks. It's preferred to use immediately for best results.

Notes

This baking powder Paleo substitute is single-acting, not double-acting. Commercial double-acting baking powder reacts (releases gas) once when it’s mixed with liquid, and then again a second time when heated (such as during baking). Homemade baking powder only reacts at the first step, which means your baked goods can go flat if you don’t use the batter immediately.
