- **What is Cream of Tartar?** Cream of Tartar, chemically known as Potassium Bitartrate, is derived from its crude form (known as Beeswing), which is refined and purified to produce a white, odorless powder. It is a salt of Tartaric Acid and is commonly combined with sodium bicarbonate to create baking powder. This mixture serves as a leavener, releasing carbon dioxide gas during baking or cooking.
- **How to Use Cream of Tartar** Cream of Tartar is predominantly used in baking. To create a simple baking powder, mix Cream of Tartar and Sodium Bicarbonate in a 2:1 ratio (Cream of Tartar to Sodium Bicarbonate). It can also be added to egg whites or whipped cream to strengthen the bubbles, resulting in a stiffer consistency.
