Kitchen Tip Tuesday: Cream of Tarttar replacement
On Sunday my youngest daughter and her friend wanted to make Snickerdoodles. I got them set up and then realized I did not have cream of tartar. UH-OH!! They really wanted to make them so I set out to find a substitute. Many sites weren't thrilled with the idea of substituting anything for cream of tartar but recommended trying baking powder. I gave it a try and it worked.
My recipe called for 2 tsp. cream of tartar and 1 tsp. baking soda. I replaced both of those with
4 tsp. baking powder.
Here are a few other suggestions:
For : 1 tsp. cream of tartar use 2 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar
For: One teaspoon baking powder is equivalent to 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 5/8 teaspoon cream of tartar. If there is additional baking soda that does not fit into the equation, simply add it to the batter.
