Baking Powder

[Guest guest]

Dennis--

 

Thanks for asking! I've used this substitute for years, as a

cost-saving device:

 

1/4 tsp. baking soda + 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar = 1 tsp. baking powder

 

The only drawback is that it won't be effective if you mix it up in

advance, so it can get a bit fiddly if you're using a recipe that calls

for both baking powder and baking soda. I wrote the conversion equation

on tape and stuck it to the cream of tartar container.

 

Hope this helps,
