  • Make your own baking powder. Aluminum free and you most likely have all the ingredients already.
    1 Tablespoon baking soda
    2 Tablespoon cream of tartar
    I do large batches and it lasts long term.
    Hope you make and enjoy this recipe.

    Old Master Bakers trick. Each time you grab your Baking Powder container...shake the contents well because the two compounds are of differing 'weight' and can 'settle' in the container.

    Cream of tartar is a white powder made from tartaric acid, which is a natural substance found in grapes. Grapes are the main source of tartaric acid, which gives wine its structure and tang. As wine ages, tartaric acid mixes with other substances to form crystalline sediments called tartrates. When tartaric acid is half neutralized with potassium hydroxide, cream of tartar is the result. Cream of tartar is also known as potassium bitartrate.

The ultra stuff is great because it keeps a long long time in refrigerator.And when whipped and sweetend it keeps its shape and does not separate , will keep for days in refrig..

    It's best not to make "baking powder" but to keep the Tartaric Acid powder and the Sodium Bicarbonate called Bicarbonate of Soda or Baking Soda (in the USA) seperate and just throw them into the recipe last before you add any liquids. Then they are most affective. Adding an acid and a base is what makes the bubbles. Mixing it before and it deteriorates over time as it is exposed to humidity as the acid and the base neutralize one another with humidity.

    Clabber Girl DEF has CORNSTARCH in it! In fact it’s listed first so has more cornstarch than anything else! So by not putting it in, you are likely using too much if you are subbing one for one.
    I think it also has 2 acids listed. My thought would be to use 2T of the cr of tartar (to sub for the 2 acids), 1 T cornstarch, and 1 T baking soda. Then you could likely use it as a 1 to 1 sub for the commercial brand.

      Baking soda requires some type of acid in the mix in order to react. The cream of tartar supplies the missing acid for mixes that do not have any.

    • @thewhiteninjamc
      @thewhiteninjamc 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      because the ratio between dry and wet ingredients needs to be a certain set range, and adding the slightly necessary amount of acid from the cream of tartar is enough that it doesn't need a super large amount of dry ingredients to make a cohesive batter. Along with baking soda in the recipe (i.e., baking soda AND baking powder in the same recipe), this provides the baked goods the amount of rise to get a desired crumb. you see it a lot in baked goods that rise with chemical reagents that have very weak acid-forming ingredients. If something has high-acidic forming in its ingredients (e.g., lots of chocolate, melted sugar/sugar (funnily, it's a wet ingredient, did you know that?)), etc.), you should only use baking SODA, whereas, things like buttermilk pancakes, you use baking POWDER (milk, even though it's almost pH neutral, it's base-forming, but adding just enough acid (lemon juice, white vinegar, etc.) makes it just a smidge acid-forming).
      Also, did you know 2% milk is just a 1:1 (50%/50%) of whole milk to water?
      1% milk is 50% of the 2% milk, and 50% water (that's 25% milk, 75% water, or 1 part milk : 3 parts water)!
      let's see what else...
      AH! Self-rising flour can be made as follows: for every 1 cup of self-rising flour,
      - add 1 Tbsp baking powder to a dry measuring cup
      - spoon AP (all-purpose) flour and level (the proper way to measure dry ingredients by volume (U.S. system) BTW) with the back edge of a knife or fork handle.
      If you want grams for more accurate measuring, I can post that here too!

      @@thewhiteninjamc The milk explanation is especially appreciated. I always suspected that and occasionally if I ran out of 1% or 2% but really wanted a small bowl of cereal or my recipe needed some milk, I'd mix some coffee cream (18% M.F.) with cold water as a substitute until I got the right taste. It is a little disheartening to know there is so much water in the 1%!

    • @CraftyVegan
      @CraftyVegan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Baking soda works only if you have something acidic that you’re adding in as well. Additionally it has its own distinct flavor.
      The baking powder has its own acid source built in and also has a milder flavor.
      They aren’t really a replacement for each other imho.
      Sometimes recipes call for both, like for chocolate chip cookies, and that’s mostly so you get more lift for your dime, since most chocolate chip cookies don’t have a source of acid to activate just plain baking soda.
      Likewise, you don’t need baking powder if you’re making buttermilk biscuits because the buttermilk is acidic enough to activate the baking soda on its own.
      They do similar things, but they definitely have different uses.

    Tartar is actually a byproduct of wine making. We collect the crystals that form on the walls of the barrels used to ferment the wine. Then, they are refined until a white powder is obtained.
    Cream of tartar is used as a stabilizer. It stabilizes beaten egg whites, for example for sponge cakes, meringues and soufflés. It is also used in confectionery to prevent sugar crystallization.

    Ok, to clarify a little bit, baking soda doesn’t just have aluminum (the metal) floating around in it.
    It has the chemical compound sodium aluminum phosphate. Which is a fancy way of saying Cream of Tartar.
    It sounds scary to say that there’s aluminum in the baking soda-and it’s wrong. We are talking about a specific compound: sodium aluminum phosphate, not aluminum itself. Just like hydrogen is different from water, aluminum is different from sodium aluminum phosphate.
    The FDA recognizes this compound to be safe, and the EFSA re-tested this claim and also found it to be safe. These organizations do these tests with children and the elderly in mind, so they have a low tolerance for any risk the compound may pose.
