      Title: HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER (SINGLE ACTING)
 Categories: Digest, Dec.
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      2    Measure cream of tarter
      1    Measure baking soda
 
  Mix together and use immediately. If you want to mix ahead of time and
  store no longer than one month, add
        1    measure cornstarch
  
  Note:  I use teaspoons for measure amount, but it really depends on
  how much you need. The cornstarch will help keep the other
  ingredients from absorbing moisture (this is what is used in
  manufactured baking powder). If you have a recipe that calls for
  double acting baking powder, just use twice the amount.
  
  Oh, one more thing, to check and see if the baking powder in your
  pantry is still active, stir 1 teaspoon into one-third cup hot water.
  There should be immediate vigorous bubbling. If no bubbling or
  bubbling is sporadic, the baking powder is past its prime.
  
  Homemade baking powder starts to fizz and release carbon dioxide the
  minute it is added to liquid, it is very important that the oven be
  preheated and baking pans be ready before mixing batter. Mix quickly
  and put in oven right away.
