Baking powder is one of those ingredients that you always seem to have on hand...until you are in the middle of baking something, go to reach for it, and find that you're all out! Or at least that's how it goes with us. Luckily, our friend Benita passes on the best ideas to us! Her latest find was this recipe for making homemade baking powder! Who knew you could actually make it yourself? It's a handy recipe to have, since even the baking powder you buy at the store has a very short shelf life.What you need:
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch
How well does it work? Check out these pretty little "French Breakfast Puffs" (recipe courtesy of our trusty Better Homes & Gardens cookbook):
I had no idea it was that easy! thanks!

Thank you! Now I can make my own baking powder with organic ingredients instead of paying an arm and a leg for it.
