Homemade Baking Powder (single Acting)

Every time we look at the cross, Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross. All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousness, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.

INGREDIENTS

2		Measure cream of tarter
1		Measure baking soda

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix together and use immediately. If you want to mix ahead of time and
store no longer than one month, add 1 measure cornstarch  Note:  I use
teaspoons for measure amount, but it really depends on  how much you
need. The cornstarch will help keep the other  ingredients from
absorbing moisture (this is what is used in  manufactured baking
powder). If you have a recipe that calls for  double acting baking
powder, just use twice the amount.  Oh, one more thing, to check and
see if the baking powder in your  pantry is still active, stir 1
teaspoon into one-third cup hot water.  There should be immediate
vigorous bubbling. If no bubbling or  bubbling is sporadic, the baking
powder is past its prime.  Homemade baking powder starts to fizz and
release carbon dioxide the  minute it is added to liquid, it is very
important that the oven be  preheated and baking pans be ready before
mixing batter. Mix quickly  and put in oven right away.  Posted by
