I am making snickerdoodles and I don't have any cream of tartar. I know I can use baking powder but how much, it call's for 2- teaspoons of cream of tartar so what would the equivalent be of the baking powder?How much baking powder do I need to use?
There is not a sub for cream of tartar. Cream of Tartar is used in cookies mainly as a substitute for baking powder. Baking powder is mainly a combination of cream of Tartar and Baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar is equal to 1 teaspoon of baking powder. So personally I would use 2 to 3 teaspoons of baking powder. Also if your recipe calls for baking soda, remember to delete it, as you will no longer need it. Good luck.How much baking powder do I need to use?
Whoa whoa whoa... where did you learn that? If you sub cream of tartar with baking powder your snickerdoodles wont look like snickerdoodles... Cream of tartar is a stabilizer (usually added to egg whites) and baking powder is a leavener.
Are you sure your snickerdoodle recipe calls for cream of tartar?
If you really need a substitute try a small squeeze or lemon juice. Check your recipe though. Cream of tartar sounds wrong.
I don't know the exchange but I have tasted snicker doodles that didn't have cream of tarter, they don't taste the same without the cream of tarter.
Probably half a tsp
