Thanks for putting the original recipe, I remembered we always put the soda in water first and now you never see it. What was the reason? To make sure it was active? Hi Sue, Most likely bakers would have been testing the soda, and also dissolving it at the same time. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that soda and powder were much coarser in texture early on. ~ MaryJane
