Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Cooking Ammonia is a chemical leavener that was used before the advent of baking soda and baking powder. Cooking Ammonia releases gas fast and gives a quick rise to something baking in the oven.

What can you instead of baking ammonia? Substitutions. If ammonium carbonate is not available, baking powder can be substituted in a 1 to 1 ratio. You can add some baking soda together with baking powder.
