cream of tartar and baking soda

To make baking powder!.!.!.!.!.

* 1 teaspoon corn starch (optional)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Baking Powder

Ingredients:

1/3 cup baking soda

2/3 cup cream of tartar

2/3 cup arrowroot starch OR potato starch

Instructions:

1!. Blend ingredients!.

2!. Store in airtight container!.

3!. Use as an equal replacement for commercial baking powder!.


* If you have those ingredients handy try that instead of the baking soda that you can't easily seem to go and just pick up any then!. IF not there is not any recipe I've found that has the baking powder out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, you can't replace baking powder with cream of tartar!. Cream of tartar is an acid and needs to react with baking soda to create CO2, which will cause your baked goods to rise!. Like the other people who answered said, you can add it as long as you add baking soda, also!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
