Homemade Baking Powder (Quick Baking Powder Substitute)
Description
This quick homemade baking powder comes together in 2 minutes with a couple of simple ingredients you probably already have. It’s an easy, aluminum-free baking powder substitute that works just like store-bought in biscuits, pancakes, muffins, and quick breads!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar
- 2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Add the cream of tartar, baking soda, and cornstarch (if using) to a small bowl.
- Whisk until completely blended, pressing out any lumps.
- Use right away in place of baking powder, measuring the same amount your recipe calls for.
- Store leftovers in a labeled airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 months.
Notes
- This is single acting baking powder, so bake right after mixing.
- Don’t store it in the freezer or refrigerator, since moisture causes clumping.
