several mexican recipes call for "una pizca de carbonato", what does this mean?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Easy Mexican Recipes


I need help – after twenty years of marriage, I now have to learn to cook for myself. Links to web sites w/ tasty and easy to prepare recipes appreciated.

It literally translates into "a pinch of carbonate." I've never heard of someone using carbonate to cook something – the closest substitute I can come up with is baking soda. If you're trying to bake something, I'm almost certain that it means a pinch of baking soda.
