The cream of tartar question was interesting. I wanted plain cane sugar to make hummingbird nectar for feeders... we're now in Mexico and even though I know the Spanish word for sugar I not only couldn't find it nor could anyone (customers) tell me where it was located. Finally, I found a store (huge store... like a huge Wal-Mart) employee who took me to it.... a big display... right beside the eggs, before you get to the huge produce department. Go Figure....

Blogger is not letting me reply d...Hello, Brigitta<br /><br />Blogger is not letting me reply directly to your comment, so I hope this works:<br /><br />But just exactly what is cream of tartar that makes it so magical? Technically, it’s an acid— specifically, tartaric acid. It’s a byproduct of wine production, the residue left on the barrels, actually. Most commonly, cream of tartar is used as a leavener, because when it’s combined with baking soda, together they produce carbon dioxide gas. That’s the same gas that’s produced by yeast in bread baking. When it’s added to egg whites, it boosts the strength of the individual air bubbles and slows down their natural tendency to deflate. And when added to simple syrup, it prevents sugar’s natural tendency to re-bond and form crystals.<br /><br />But if you don’t have it in your pantry and your recipe calls for it, just substitute fresh lemon juice or white vinegar for the cream of tartar. For every 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in the recipe, use 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar. As an example, if your cookie recipe calls for 1 teaspoon baking soda, add 2 teaspoons lemon juice instead of the cream of tartar. If your simple syrup recipe asks for 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar, use 3-4 drops of lemon juice. And for the whipping egg whites? Add 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice per egg white.<br /><br />The results will be so close, you probably won’t notice the substitution.<br /><br />Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-5519339309945592742016-10-13T11:56:09.958-04:002016-10-13T11:56:09.958-04:00Snickerdoodles sound great (and easy) - why margar...Snickerdoodles sound great (and easy) - why margarine (because of the Depression?)
