That's what baking powder is. An acid and sodium bicarbonate. Using an acid salt to react with the sodium at a particular temp is the purpose. Often you'll see double acting baking powders, that's different acid salts mixed with sodium to react at different times during the make up and baking process. The carbonation I honestly am drawing a blank on what it could do. Looks like later I'll be doing some digging through some old "baking and science" books I have from school.
Sounds good, I never thought of that. We used to have a French dish of bread soaked in milk with a sliced banana and a sprinkle of sugar on top of it. My wife does not understand soggy bread, or soggy cereal like Graham crackers, etc.
Is there any other way to do it? It should be illegal to not buy a side of fries when you buy a shake.
Say What???!!! I don't know about that. But I'm also the guy that is grossed out by seeing someone eat Mayo and Fries
