Answer 2

Alternative To Cream Of Tartar

Answer 3

Something is very wrong with that recipe because that just seems like an enormous amount of cream of tartar to be added as a separate ingredient
Try this : a standard recipe for baking powder is 1/3 baking soda and 2/3 cream of tartar Therefore 3 tsp of baking powder should work.
Basically what's happening is that the liquid [eggs] activates the acid of the cream of tartar which dissolves the carbonate in the baking powder thereby releasing the CO2-which is your leavening agent

Answer 4

I do not think that there is a substitute. But i found this.

If you are beating eggs whites and don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute white vinegar (in the same ratio as cream of tartar, generally 1/8 teaspoon per egg white). It is a little more problematic to find a substitute for cream of tartar in baking projects. White vinegar or lemon juice, in the ratio of 3 times the amount of cream of tartar called for, will provide the right amount of acid for most recipes. But that amount of liquid may cause other problems in the recipe, and bakers have found that cakes made with vinegar or lemon juice have a coarser grain and are more prone to shrinking than those made with cream of tartar

Answer 5

use lemon juice or vinegar as a subtitute of cream of tartar. 5 to 6 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar in substitute of 2tsp of cream of tartar

Answer 6

1 teaspoon baking soda plus 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar is the same as four teaspoons of baking powder. The baking powder also has corn starch in it. That is why the difference in measurement. You could account for that by reducing the flour by a couple of teaspoons if you think it is necessary.
