Some commercial baking powders contain aluminum. Aluminum might be bad for your health. Some people say that it may be linked to cancer and also to Alzheimer's disease. I don't know if it is or isn't but I prefer not to take the chance. It's just so easy to opt out and make my own at home.
It's a stupidly simple recipe. All you need is ingredients that are probably in your cupboard already, an airtight container to store it in, a measuring spoon and a stick to stir it with.*
Ready? Here it is!
One part baking soda
Two parts cream of tartar
One part cornstarch
Mix well and store in an air tight container. Don't make more than you think you will use in a month ( I use 1 tbs baking soda, etc).
Happy Baking!
