[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have cream of tartar, is there something else you can use for the acidity when you need baking powder but only have baking soda?[/quote] Yes--buttermilk, yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar. (for 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, you need 1 cup of buttermilk or yogurt or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar)[/quote] I use "buttermilk" a lot - milk with a splash of vinegar added. I also made a mistake baking this weekend and used baking powder instead of baking soda in a cake. I realized the mistake before pouring the batter into the pans. So knowing that I used much less baking powder than I would have if the recipe was designed for baking powder I added half a teaspoon of baking soda to be sure to get a good rise, and I did. The recipe included buttermilk to activate the baking powder.[/quote]
