Calories: 23kcal
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add cornstarch, baking soda and cream of tartar. Whisk until fully combined.
- Mixture is ready to use immediately.
Notes
- Store homemade baking powder in a glass jar or storage container.
- Storing it in the refrigerator is best.
- Check for activeness by adding ½ teaspoon to ¼ cup hot water. If it fizzes, it's fine to use, if not, then it is no longer fresh.
- DIY baking powder is similar to single acting baking powder and will need to be baked immediately. Keep this in mind as most gluten free batters need a rest time before baking.
