Clabber Girl
Clabber Girl is a brand of baking powder, baking soda, and corn starch that has been a staple in American kitchens since the late 19th century. The brand is owned by Hulman & Company, which is based in Terre Haute, Indiana. Clabber Girl has become synonymous with reliable baking ingredients, particularly known for its double-acting baking powder, which has been a key ingredient in countless recipes over the decades.
History
The history of Clabber Girl begins in the 1850s when the Hulman family, German immigrants, started a grocery business in Terre Haute. The brand name "Clabber Girl" itself was trademarked in 1899. The term "clabber" refers to milk that has naturally soured and thickened; before the advent of modern baking powders, clabber was used as a leavening agent in baking. The Clabber Girl brand capitalized on this traditional method by offering a more stable and reliable leavening agent in the form of their baking powder.
Over the years, Clabber Girl has expanded its product line to include not only baking powder but also baking soda, corn starch, and other related products. The company has remained relevant by adapting to changing consumer preferences and maintaining a commitment to quality.
Products
Clabber Girl's flagship product is its double-acting baking powder, which releases carbon dioxide gas into the dough or batter in two phases, once when cold and again when heated. This property makes it a preferred choice for bakers seeking consistent results. In addition to baking powder, Clabber Girl also offers baking soda, which is used as a leavening agent in recipes that contain acidic ingredients, and corn starch, commonly used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, and soups.
Cultural Impact
Clabber Girl has had a significant cultural impact in the United States, becoming a household name and a symbol of home baking. The brand has been featured in numerous cookbooks, baking contests, and even has its own museum, the Clabber Girl Museum in Terre Haute, which showcases the history of the brand and the evolution of baking in America.
