Baking Powder With Tartaric Acid
Dear Aunt Daisy, I am finding it difficult to get cream of tartar* sometimes, and as I always have been. accustomed to make my own baking powder, I am wondering if you
could give me a recipe for making it with tartaric acid instead. My old recipe is a good one and I enclose it for the benefit of those who like to make their own, and who are able to obtain the cream of tartar. Half a pound of baking soda, half a pound of cream of tartar, 2 ozs. of tartaric acid, and a good cup of ground rice or flour. Sift well several times, and keep in airtight tins or bottles in a dry place. Use like ordinary baking powder.-Country Cook, Yes, there is a shortage of cream of tartar, though I think you could manage to make half quantities of your own recipe. However, it is most useful to be able to do without it if necessary, and here is a reliable recipe worked out for me by a laboratory chemist. Nine ounces of bicarbonate of soda, 5 ozs. of tartaric acid, 10 ozs. ground rice .or cornflour. If using ordinary flour, dry it in the oven first. Sift well together several times. Another one is-Half a pound of tartaric acid, *% Ib. baking soda, and % Ib. ground rice. Pound well and mix, then sift several times.
