Cream of Tartar is found in the spice aisle of most grocery stores and usually is packaged in a very small jar, usually holding about 1 ounce of product.
It's often added to baking soda to form baking powder -- needed frequently in baking, it helps to stabilize egg whites and it keeps sugar from crystallizing...making cookies softer.
Hope this helps!

Cream of tartar is is the common name for potassium hydrogen tartrate, an acid salt that has a number of uses in cooking.
Cream of tartar is best known in our kitchens for helping stabilize and give more volume to beaten egg whites. It is the acidic ingredient in some brands of baking powder. It is also used to produce a creamier texture in sugary desserts such as candy and frosting. not to be confused with tartar sause!!
it can be found in your nerest food store!

If you can't find it in your local market, try a gourmet or organic market (i.e Whole Foods or Wild Oats). Here are some places where you can buy it online:
