Aluminum-free Baking Powder (grain free, paleo)
Description
Aluminum-free Baking Powder (grain free, paleo) is made by blending baking soda, cream of tartar, and arrowroot powder. This combination provides the acidic and basic components necessary to leaven baked goods without including aluminum compounds. The arrowroot powder acts as a starch to absorb moisture and keep the mixture stable. The recipe is simple to prepare by mixing the ingredients thoroughly and storing in a tight container to prevent moisture from activating the mix prematurely.
This alternative baking powder is well suited for those who prefer to avoid aluminum or who follow grain-free or paleo diets. It can be used in the same quantities as regular baking powder within various recipes.
The recipe can be adapted by substituting arrowroot powder with organic tapioca starch or cornstarch if grain-free or paleo requirements are less strict.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a small bowl. Blend with a whisk to mix well.
- Store in a tightly-closed container to prevent moisture from entering and causing the ingredients to begin to react.
- Use as you would regular baking powder.
Notes
- This baking powder can be made in larger quantities by doubling or more as needed.
- Arrowroot powder can be replaced with organic tapioca starch or cornstarch if preferred.
- Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture exposure which can cause premature reaction.
