My mother always had a jar of Cream of Tartar in the spice cabinet. I realized at a young age that this stuff was essential in a kitchen where things were made from scratch, and in my household, many things were made the old-fashioned way. So what the heck is this stuff anyway? Is it gluten free? -yes, it is! It's the byproduct left after fermenting grapes into wine. In addition to it's use as a leavening agent in baking powder, you can ales use it to stabilize eggs.
Baking Powder
