Ammonium Carbonate (2.7 oz.)

LorAnn Baker's Ammonia, also known as Ammonium Carbonate or "hartshorn," is a traditional leavening agent frequently featured in vintage recipes. Employed to achieve an extra-crisp texture in cookies or crackers, Baker's Ammonia distinguishes itself from baking powder or soda by avoiding the imposition of an alkaline aftertaste in baked goods. Notably, it is not recommended for leavening cakes or other voluminous items, as the ammonia gas may not completely evaporate during the baking process.
