    There are three ways you can substitute for baking powder, depending on the recipe:

    1 teaspoon baking powder equals 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar; or, 1 teaspoon baking powder equals 1/2 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt: and 1 teaspoon baking powder also equals 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/3 cup molasses. When using the substitutions that include liquid, reduce other liquid in recipe accordingly.

    baking soda and cream of tartar. 3 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar.

    Or you can use 3 teaspoons baking soda and change the milk to butter milk or beer.

    yeast would make it rise, it would change the texture of the cornbread but i bet it'd be tasty.
