baking ingredient

Pantry staple item

A baking ingredient is any component used to make baked goods—flour, sugar, eggs, butter, leavening agents, and flavorings are common examples.

The term appears on packaging and in recipes to distinguish items intended for baking from those for other cooking methods: The store has a whole aisle of baking ingredients.
