ammonium bicarbonate

This leavener is the precursor of today’s baking powder and baking soda. It’s still called for in some European baking recipes, mainly for cookies. It can be purchased in drugstores but must be ground to a powder before using. Also known as hartshorn, carbonate of ammonia and powdered baking ammonia.
