Question

baking basics quiz
which of the following is not a leavening agent?
o air
o baking powder
o comstarch
o baking soda

Explanation:

Leavening agents create gas in batters or doughs, causing them to rise. Air (incorporated via methods like creaming butter and sugar), baking powder (a combination of baking soda, acid, and starch), and baking soda (reacts with acid) are leavening agents. Cornstarch is a thickening agent, not a leavening agent.

Answer:

Cornstarch.
