📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    In a small, dry bowl, combine the cream of tartar and baking soda.
  2. 2
    Whisk thoroughly with a small whisk or fork until completely blended.
  3. 3
    Use this mixture immediately in your recipe as a direct substitute for 1 teaspoon of commercial baking powder.

💡 Notes

This substitute acts as a single-acting baking powder, meaning it starts reacting as soon as it touches liquid. For best results, mix this into your dry ingredients, then quickly combine wet and dry ingredients and get your batter into the oven without delay. For a substitute using lemon juice or vinegar, combine 1/4 tsp baking soda with 1/2 tsp lemon juice/vinegar; add baking soda to dry ingredients, and acid to wet ingredients.
