You can make your own baking powder substitute by combining three other pantry ingredients you may have on hand. Three different batch size instructions are given which all follow the formula of 2 parts cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda and 1 part cornstarch.
Ingredients:
Small Batch Idea #1
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
Small Batch Idea #2
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Larger Batch (makes 1/4 cup)
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 1 tablespoon baking soda

Instructions:
- For whichever size batch you are making, just mix the three ingredients together and use as needed to replace baking powder in a recipe.

Arrowroot powder can also be used in place of cornstarch.
