Substitute for Baking Powder - proportions of baking soda and cream of tartar?

I'm making cookies in the morning and don't want to run to the grocery to buy baking powder. Does anyone remember how much baking soda and how much cream of tartar I can substitute for the baking powder? I'm pretty sure those are the only 2 items in baking powder and I have those. Thanks!

    Okay, so I checked my handy dandy cook book for this at it states that for 1 teaspoon of baking powder you need 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

    Hope this helps you!

    Substitution For Baking Soda

  • 1 decade ago

    Your memory is correct, those are the only ingredients. The ratio is 5 parts cream-of-tartar to 4 parts baking soda. The substitution of this mixture for regular, store bought, baking powder is 1 to 1. Storage of the mixture is the same as baking powder.

    No you can't what you can do is the vice-verse, but this is the proportion: to substitute 1 tsp. of baking power you can use 1/4 tsp. of baking soda with 5/8 tsp. of cream of tartar.

    Paleo diet its a diet based around eating real food unprocessed and organic. Learn here https://tr.im/XW30o

    Whether you have or not, what you probably don't realize is that it’s the fastest growing “diet” in the world right now. From celebrities, chefs, elite athletes. Even fitness experts is eager to try it or adopt it.

    And for good reason, because no other diet or eating plan provides so many benefits so fast.

    Sorry, but the Paleo Diet doesn't have one shred of scientific evidence to support its hypotheses and it is definitely not the ways human beings were designed by evolution to eat (our teeth and intestines prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are meant o be vegetarians).

    What was the first replier answering? instead of baking powder use margarine? I'm reporting that as spam. Pure idiocy.

    Can't help with proportions - do you have 'self raising flour'? that already has the baking powder added
