Homemade Baking Powder Substitute
Description
The recipe mixes two parts cream of tartar with one part baking soda thoroughly to create a leavening substitute yielding 1 tablespoon. Cornstarch can be added up to 1 teaspoon per batch to prevent clumping if making larger quantities and storing. This preparation mimics the acid-base reaction of baking powder, releasing carbon dioxide when wet to help baked goods rise.
It is a straightforward blend that can be made quickly with common kitchen ingredients and used immediately in place of commercial baking powder in recipes.
For storage, keep the mixture in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain potency and prevent moisture damage.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- corn starch optional
Instructions
- Stir together the cream of tartar and baking soda until well-combined.
- Yield: 1 tablespoon.
- Add in cornstarch as needed (up to 1 teaspoon) if making a larger batch.
Notes
- Store homemade baking powder substitute in a well-sealed container away from moisture to keep it effective.
- Cornstarch addition prevents clumping when making or storing larger batches of the mixture.
