introductionIntroduction
In my investigation, I plan to research as much as I can about chemical raising agents and the effect they have on scones. I will look at the functional and chemical properties of chemical raising agents, and I will plan investigations around the data I collect.
Plan of actionAction
To start with, I will carefully research chemical raising agents and determine which one will be the best one to use to get the best end product from my scone. I will research these chemical raising agents using different books and the internet. Using the sources, I have researched, I will then be able to make my scones on the 03/10/19. I will make two batches, using two different chemical raising agents, and then determine which one has turned out better by judging the taste, texture, and appearance. After getting my results, I will put them into a graph and then use this in my report. I will also be judging chemical raising agents.
