#leavening — Public Fediverse posts

A #leavening voice. Thank you. It's too easy to make these vile acts into a #shitstorm of hate within the currently effected #communities. This whole issue revisited hate crimes of the 70s and 80s and arguing over words among the #effected groups papers the walls of the #conservative dog fucking #crustian right in all our #countries.

Fuck them. #StandTogether
#BLM
#RestInPride

I got delayed on this post when I realized that I had no idea what a #medieval #baker used in place of #bakingPowder. It turns out it's "#hartshorn", which is actually the horns of male red deer, dried at high heat and then ground down to a powder.

The ammonia that's part of the active ingredient wafts away during the cooking, making your #kitchen smell terrible. For the few #baking products that still require the airy #leavening it produced, modern bakers use something called #BakersAmmonia.
