Description
Cream of Tartar (Tartaric Acid) is actually used in sweets. Add it to candy and frosting mixtures for a creamier consistency or to egg whites before beating to improve stability and volume. Its official name, potassium acid tartrate, is one of the acid components in baking powder that makes cakes and cookies rise, and it’s actually extracted from fresh grapes or derived from deposits that accumulate on the insides of wine barrels. So, don’t reach for the Cream of Tartar when you need a sauce for your fish, reach for it when you’re whipping up lemon meringue pie and other whipped crème creations!
