Baking powder was invented in the 19th century by chemist Alfred Bird in the United Kingdom. He created a mixture of bicarbonate of soda (also known as baking soda), cream of tartar, and a starch filler. This combination was designed to be a convenient alternative to yeast for leavening baked goods. Since then, baking powder has become a staple ingredient in baking recipes worldwide.
