Add baking powder for extra tender meatballs
As you know, baking powder is a common leavening agent for baked goods, providing height and air pockets. What’s neat is you can add a small amount to the ground meat to give the mixture an interior lift as it cooks. This little extra push from the inside of the sphere prevents the product from becoming too compact and dense.
