Baking...Subtitute and make your own baking powder!<br /><br />Baking powder has a limited shelf life. In order to have a product that does not go bad, you can purchase two other ingredients that have an unlimited shelf life. <br /><br />Recipe:<br />1 tsp baking soda<br />2 tsps cream of tartar<br /><br />Mix well.<br /><br />Use this right away. If you are baking lots, you could make it up in a larger quantitiy. You would always just make the proportions as twice as much cream of tartar as baking soda. Your measure can be tablespoons or cups. <br /><br />Advantages:<br />Commerical baking powder has a limited shelf life. <br />Commerical baking powder has additives we really don't want--aluminum!<br /><br />In the post I wrote back in February, I wrote 1 tsp baking soda and 2 tsp of cream of tartar. As long as the proportion is correct, it works.<br /><br />(Another method--for each tsp of baking powder, add 1/2 tsp baking soda to dry ingredients and 1.5 tsp of lemon juice or vinegar. Easy peasy.)<br /><br />Since you seem to have plenty of lemons, this would be easy for you. But, for anyone who is uneasy about the condition of the world, keeping huge quantities of baking soda and cream of tartar on hand seems to be the best answer. Both have a long shelf life as long as they are kept dry. <br /><br />Here is my post on the subject:<br />http://practical-parsimony.blogspot.com/2012/02/make-your-own-baking-powder.htmlPractical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5847491402442204726.post-25213990782793501252012-07-01T17:25:43.461+08:002012-07-01T17:25:43.461+08:00Goodness, that seems like a difficult challenge bu...Goodness, that seems like a difficult challenge but well worthwhile.
