HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER

By BobD

Ingredients

• 1/3 CUP
• Edna Lewis trained Peacock's palate to detect the metallic undertones that commercial baking powders can impart, and he's never looked back. Here's their formula.
• 1/4 cup cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together cream of tartar and baking soda 3 times, then transfer to a clean dry jar and seal tightly.

COOKS' NOTES: Baking powder keeps in a cool, dark place 6 weeks.

Homemade baking powder can be used in any recipe calling for commercial baking powder (and in the same quantity).
