RECIPE FOR MAKING "BAKING POWDER"
(
German) - (
Pennsylvania Germans)
Sift together three times (through a fine sieve) 8 tablespoonfuls of
cream of tartar, 4 tablespoonfuls of baking soda (salaratus), 4
tablespoonfuls of flour. Cornstarch may be substituted for flour. This
latter ingredient is used to keep the cream of tartar and soda
separate and dry, as soda is made from salt and will absorb moisture.
This recipe for making a pure baking powder was given Mary by Fran
Schmidt, who had used it for years with good results.
