How to Substitute Baking Powder Using Cream of Tartar.

Baking powder is a leavening agent used to help batters rise when they’re cooked. Luckily, if you’re out of baking powder and in a pinch, you can make your own with ingredients that are probably already in your pantry! Your homemade mixtures will work in your batter more quickly, so make sure you bake it right away!

Ingredients.

1 tbsp (14 g) of baking soda.

2 tbsp (10 g) of cream of tartar.

1 tsp (3 g) of corn starch (optional).

Substitutes 3 tbsp (41 g) of baking powder.

Steps.

1. Mix 1 tbsp (14 g) of baking soda with 2 tbsp (10 g) of cream of tartar. Use a small whisk to thoroughly sift the powders together. The cream of tartar causes a reaction with the baking soda and forms baking powder.

Cream of tartar can be found in the baking aisle of your local grocery store.

2. Store the mix in an airtight container if you’re not using it right away. Use a resealable plastic container and store it in your pantry. Make sure no moisture gets inside the container since your baking powder could clump.

Baking powder can be stored indefinitely. You can check if your baking soda is fresh by pouring hot water on it and seeing if it bubbles.

3. Add 1 tsp (3 g) of corn starch to prevent clumps. If you don’t plan to use your baking powder right away, it will start to clump up and be hard to use. Stir in 1 tsp (3 g) of corn starch with a whisk to prevent clumping.

Tips.

Mix the baking powder substitutes together right before you plan on cooking with them.

Warnings.

The baking powder substitutes you mix are single-acting, meaning they release gas as soon as they’re mixed. Put your mix in the oven soon after you make the substitute.

Things You’ll Need.

Mixing bowl.

Measuring cups and spoons.

Whisk.

Airtight container.
