I don’t know if you are freaky about baking powder or not. I am because I don’t like the aluminum factor. Some people are allergic to gluten, though, and need to make sure they have a gluten free baking powder. Now, Rumford’s is very good,and it is gluten free and aluminum free, but it can be expensive, comparatively.
Whether you are on a gluten-free diet, or just want to make your own baking powder this video is awesome, and the baking powder is excellent.
This post will go over onto the substitutions page so if you need it in the future you can find it easily!
If you don;t catch what she says on the video the basic recipe is:
Gluten Free Homemade Baking Powder
Cream of tartar:2 parts
Baking Soda:1 part
Cornstarch:1 part
Be careful, making your own baking powder can be addictive..Pretty soon you find yourself making your own cleaners, and soap, and….
According to http://www.dianaskitchen.com/page/recipes03/0905_bakingpowder.htm this is only a single acting baking powder. Do you know if this makes a difference in modern recipes? Most modern baking powders are double-acting.
I never really thought about Baking Powder. Thanks for the tip.
J- I don;t know but I will look into it.
Sure Courtney, thats what I am here for..LOL!
Brilliant!
Cool, isn’t it amanda?
This is definitely something I’m going to try–I had no idea baking powder was so simple!
Plan to experiment a little, Amanda. And don;t hold it once it is mixed.
Oooooh. So I can’t mix up a batch and keep it in the cupboard? That’s good to know–just make as much as I need immediately.
No, you can make a batch up for the cupboard as long as it stays dry..if it is very humid it may lose some of its oomph..but you can’t mix a batter and then let is set for an hour..it will loose ALL of the fizz.
I understand now–thank you for the clarification, Marye. That makes a big difference!
yep..If you have a real humid summer you could have problems..so keep that in mind.
