The next time you are ready to bake and don’t have baking powder, use baking soda. It’s a great substitute when you run out.
Baking Powder Substitute
You can easily make your own baking powder with baking soda and cream of tartar—a simple substitute when you run out.
Last week, I found myself with some extremely old-looking baking powder. I would have to get a chisel out to the hard, crusted powder. So, instead of trusting that this expired baking powder would do its job, I researched a substitute.
That’s when I found out that you can use baking soda and cream of tartar in place of baking powder.
Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Baking Powder
- baking soda
- cream of tartar
Here’s how to make baking powder:
Use two parts baking soda and one part cream of tartar as a substitute for baking powder.
- ⅓ teaspoon baking soda plus ⅔ teaspoon cream of tartar equals one teaspoon of baking powder
- ⅔ teaspoon baking soda plus one ⅓ teaspoon cream of tartar equals two teaspoons baking powder
- One teaspoon baking soda plus two teaspoons cream of tartar equals one tablespoon baking powder
