5 stars from me. I have found this works really well. I mix with warm water, then add in my batter. it works great. I also will add the TB as a powder into my lye water while its hot, it works really great like that too.

I was really excited to find water soluble TD because everyelse seems to be only oil dispersable. I mix 1 part TD with 2 parts water and mix with a coffee frother (mixes easily so isn’t really necessary) and just store it separately and use it when needed.
