Cream of Tartar Substitution

1. 1

   Cream of Tartar is usually added to recipes which require an acid to react with baking soda.

2. 2

   Adding an acid to baking soda is essential to achieve maximum leavening action from the baking soda.

3. 3

   Using an equivalent amount of acid in your recipe in place of the cream of tartar should work just fine.

4. 4

   For example, if your recipe calls for a tsp of cream of tartar, use one tsp vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute.

5. 5

   Because cream of tartar is usually used in small amounts, the additional liquid added by using vinegar or lemon juice should not affect your recipe's integrity.
