Most of us have been in the position where we ran out of something and can’t make what we wanted to. Such as baking powder . Numerous times for me!

Not only that, there are people who have food allergies and it also it much healthier to make things our own.

I’ve never realized how easy it is to make your own baking powder.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon of baking soda

2 teaspoons of cream of tartar

1 teaspoon of cornstarch (optional)

Mix the baking soda and cream of tartar together until thoroughly mixed. This makes 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

If you plan to make the baking powder in a larger increment & store it, then add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.

The cornstarch will help absorb any moisture and let the baking powder last longer.

If you do not want to use the cornstarch, maybe there’s an allergy. You can substitute arrowroot instead of the cornstarch.

Good to know info-

Making your own baking powder is gluten free! Remember Not all brands are the same, look on the label for cornstarch, It will say made in a gluten free facility or produced in a gluten free facility. As well as GMO free.

When you make your own, there are no additives or preservatives

For myself, I can not have processed food. So making ingredients from scratch is better for me.
