Baking Powder
Clabber Girl baking powder is a balanced, double-acting baking powder that is gluten free and Kosher, and has been the first choice of bakers for many years. Baking powder is a chemical leavener that is used to make batters and doughs rise. Double acting baking powder means that the baking powder reacts twice: 30% in the mixing bowl and 70% in the oven.
Baking Soda
Clabber Girl Baking Soda makes a great leavening powder for your favorite recipes. This soda is also an safe dish and household cleaner. Sprinkle Clabber Girl Baking Soda over burnt-on food in pots and pans, let soak overnight, and scrub the next day. This soda removes dirt and grime from tile, tubs, floors, and counters as well.
Corn Starch
Clabber Girl Corn Starch is Non-GMO and gluten free, made from low-moisture corn. Use Clabber Girl Corn Starch to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the pop top can make this feel like a presentable gift right out of the package?
Yes, the classic Clabber Girl pop top can has a clean heritage look that presents well on its own, and the 2-pack option is easy to wrap with a ribbon for housewarming or holiday gifting without needing extra packaging.
Is this a good last minute birthday gift for a home baker?
Absolutely, this is a pantry staple almost every home baker will use, so it works as a thoughtful pick even if you are short on time. Pair it with a handwritten recipe card for a more personal touch.
Can I gift the 22 oz size to a serious baker on my list?
Yes, the 22 oz can is a great size for someone who bakes for a crowd, hosts holidays, or runs a small bake sale, and the built in leveler means they will appreciate the thoughtful design as soon as they open it.
Will a gluten free and vegan baker on my list actually be able to use this?
Yes, this baking powder is certified Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher, and Halal, so it is safe and inclusive for the dietary restrictions most common among thoughtful gifting recipients.
Does the heritage brand story add sentimental value as a gift?
Yes, Clabber Girl has been American made in Terre Haute, Indiana since 1850, and that long trusted history is exactly the kind of heritage detail that makes a gift feel meaningful rather than generic.
Is this a good housewarming gift for someone setting up a new kitchen?
It is a perfect housewarming gift because every new kitchen needs a reliable baking powder, and the airtight overcap and built in leveler make it especially useful for someone just stocking their pantry.
Can I give this as a hostess gift for Thanksgiving or a dinner party?
Yes, this is a practical and well received hostess gift, especially in the 2-pack size, because the host can use it for holiday baking and still have a backup can in the pantry.
Is this better than gifting a scented candle or flowers?
For a baker, yes, because it is something they will actually use rather than something that sits on a counter, and the heritage branding gives it a classic feel that feels more personal than a generic gift.
What if the recipient already bakes with a different brand, will they switch?
Many long time bakers switch to Clabber Girl after a single batch because the consistent double acting rise and the clean, no aftertaste formula win them over, especially when they are baking for guests with dietary restrictions.
Will the recipient know it is aluminum free and that matters for gifting?
Yes, increasingly health conscious and inclusive bakers specifically look for aluminum free baking powder, so mentioning it on the gift tag or card adds meaningful value to the present.
Is the packaging attractive enough to skip a gift bag?
The classic red and white Clabber Girl can is recognizable and has a vintage pantry charm that many recipients love as is, though a simple kraft gift bag or ribbon makes it feel even more special for birthdays or Christmas.
How do I store the can to keep the baking powder fresh?
Store the can in a cool, dry place with the airtight plastic overcap snapped firmly in place. Keeping moisture out is the key to long term freshness, and with proper storage the powder can stay effective for years.
How much baking powder should I use per cup of flour in a standard recipe?
A general guideline is 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour, but always follow the specific recipe you are using since leavening needs vary by batter thickness and oven temperature.
Can I substitute this baking powder for a recipe that calls for baking soda?
Not directly. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate and needs an acid to activate, while double acting baking powder contains its own acid. If a recipe calls for baking soda, you would need to adjust other ingredients to substitute.
Does this baking powder work in high altitude baking?
Yes, but high altitude recipes often call for less leavening than sea level recipes. Start with the recipe recommendation and adjust downward slightly if you notice over rising.
Is this product compatible with convection ovens?
Yes, the double acting formula works in conventional, convection, and air fryer cooking. You may want to reduce the oven temperature by about 25 degrees when using convection since heat circulates more efficiently.
What is included in the box when I order the single can?
You receive one sealed Clabber Girl Double Acting Baking Powder can in the size you selected, with the pop top lid and the airtight plastic overcap already in place. Nothing else is needed to start using it.
Is it safe to use this baking powder past the printed expiration date?
Baking powder loses potency gradually over time. You can test it by mixing a teaspoon into a small amount of hot water, and if it bubbles vigorously it is still active. If the reaction is weak, it is time to replace it.
Will the powder clump if I live in a humid climate?
The airtight plastic overcap is specifically designed to block moisture intrusion, so even in humid environments the can stays dry as long as you snap the cap back on after each use and store it away from the stove and dishwasher steam.
How is double acting baking powder different from regular baking powder?
Double acting baking powder reacts twice, once when mixed with wet ingredients and again when exposed to oven heat, which gives a more reliable and consistent rise than single acting baking powder, especially in thicker batters.
