5 Surprising Substitutes for Cream of Tartar: A Guide to Baking Without the Essential Ingredient

Cream of tartar, also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, is a white, crystalline powder that is commonly used in cooking and baking. It acts as a leavening agent, stabilizing egg whites and giving baked goods a lighter texture. Additionally, it can be used to add stability to whipped cream and prevent sugar from crystallizing in recipes like candy making. While cream of tartar is a versatile ingredient, it is not always readily available in pantries.
