Homemade Baking Powder  Ingredients:       1 teaspoon baking soda    2 teaspoons cream of tartar       1 teaspoon corn starch (optional)

Preparation:

Here's how to make your own baking powder: 1) Mix the baking soda and cream of tartar together until well combined. Use immediately. Yield: One tablespoon of baking powder.

Comments:

To store baking powder: Add a teaspoon of corn starch to the mixture, and stir. This will absorb any moisture from the air, and prevent the baking powder from reacting before you need it. Store in an air-tight container. Did You Know? Most commerically-produced baking powder contains aluminum--sodium aluminum sulfate to be exact. Make your own baking powder, and keep your baked goods aluminum-free.
