I was making some bread that called for baking powder...hmmm, I couldn't remember if I had an old can of baking powder or not. So, out comes the chair (my rendition of a step-stool) and I claw through my two "spice cabinets". Nope, no baking powder.
So, off to the internet because I knew I could do a substitution - I just couldn't remember what it was.
Here it is - very simple:
Mix 2 parts Cream of Tartar with 1 part Baking Soda = Baking Powder
Since I was just looking through all my spices, I knew just where to go...
There was this long-forgotten can of Cream of Tarter. I remember it from college days! And New Hill. And Boca Raton. Wow.
Amazing - $.63!
I was curious - so I peeled off the label. I'm assuming this means May 2, 1975. I left home in 1980. Pretty sure this probably came from Mom's pantry and went with me to school.
But, of course, I had purchased some new in the intervening years....
Ha! But, alas, it's out of date also!!! "Best by Oct 14, 09"!!!! Oh well, I used this anyway - and the bread turned out fine. I did toss the 1975 one, though!
