    I already knew this in a way due to my grandmother using baking soda which she called bicarbonate soda and an ingredient she called winestone. My husband who is Dutch and does not cook when I told him that he said it in dutch but did not know what she meant and he had spelt it wrong. So after watching your video and knowing my grandmother was part dutch I googled the translation of Cream of tartar is alled wijnsteen which if translated literally wijn steen then it would be winestone. Both wijnsteen and dream of tatar are crystallised tartaric acid. This acid becomes crystallised in wine barrels and is scraped out then milled into a fine powder to make it if done the original way. My grandmother never used baking powder. Now I know the exact amounts from this video as well. THANKS!!!

    Very interesting video! In my family we all have family recipes handwritten in to a school exercise book. On the flyleaf of mine, in Mum’s writing, is the cream of tartar and bicarb soda “recipe” for baking powder. In some of the family recipes, particularly Gran’s, it adds the two into the mix separately & Mum always said to put it into the flour before the sifting process, along with any spices, as her sifter had a mixing wheel inside it. I still do this. A lot of Gran’s recipes are very old & called for plain (all purpose) flour with leavening or beaten egg white to get the rise. Gran was a fantastic home cook and produced feather light sponge cakes & scones (biscuits) baked in her wood stove. I am forever thankful ❤ to both Gran & Mum for teaching me so many frugal methods. I miss them so much. I think that’s one of the reason I love your videos. The warmth, sharing & learning is like being back in that familiar bubble. ❤

I buy cream if tartar in bulk from San Francisco Herb Co. for about $5 a pound plus shipping or off Amazon with free shipping. I buy Rumford brand aluminum free too. It has been hard to get bulk cream of tartar with the supply chain issues. I have my grandmother's Rumford company's cookbook from the early 1900's. Very interesting ideas. Raise 7 kids so we went through lots with me makings baked goods.

When we tried setting up strawberries in a straight line directly in the soil with weed block and pins they died. It was tragic. When we threw caution to the wind and cobbled together the boards & blocks they took off. Nary a bare spot to be found and lots of berries! Try something and if it fails, try something else.

    The only people in our area that buy large bulk amounts of baking soda are the home growers of weed. Seems like in an enclosed area it benefits the growing plants with Carbon Dioxide. LOL I just had a chuckle when I saw the small bag of baking soda on the counter. Just found your channel and enjoy your content! Side note, if you put the baking powder into a wide mouthed quart canning jar (entire can and all) and use a vacuum sealer attachment on the jar every use, it will last for years once opened. You can see exactly what it is as the can is intact and provides added storage and instructions. I've never had a problem with vacuum sealing. Just remember a bad vacuum seal will eventually pull air into the container. Don't trash your old baking powder, use it in the garden.

    To store baking powder, place a desiccant packet into a jar and place the baking powder, container and all, into the jar and close tightly. This will dry out any possible moisture that might have been in the air or any that might have leaked in before putting on the lid.

    fyI Cream of tartar doesn't go bad as long as water doesn't get to it, which means it can stay safe to use indefinitely. But it doesn't retain potency forever, and after a couple of years of storage, you won't get the same results you'd get from a fresh package.

    While listening I went to my cupboard, grabbed an opened can of baking powder, bb date 3/23. Made the hot water powder mixture and it bubbled like crazy. Thank you for showing that test. I would have just thrown it out if not for your test.

    You are the most interesting, knowledgeable preppers on any channel. I just started seriously prepping a few months ago. I have been watching many many many videos on prepping, canning, preserving, homesteading, gardening, cooking. You explain everything to us, like we are adults not idiots, that makes so much sence, as to why it needs to be done that way. Please never stop. I am binge watching you channel. I just discovered you, I apparently miss so much.

    I just watched your video on biscuits and you mentioned this video. how timely! I was hoping to bake some biscuits today (using up some leftover gluten free flours that I no longer need but hated to throw out) and knew my baking soda was old. It expired 4 YEARS ago! Obviously, I don't bake quick breads often. Wonder of wonders, I happen to have brand new containers of both cream of tartar and baking soda. You have saved the day!

    For anyone with gluten sensitivity (said to be inherited genetic issue) many of the additives can make one have a reaction. Corn also has a form of gluten and might even be GMO so avoid cornstarch.

    Thank you Pam and Jim. This is a nice recipe to have on hand for times when you need som baking powder and it has expired! Also, if the grocery stores close, we will know what to do. Knowledge is power, right? I am really excited to make those biscuits you showed us. How wonderful is it to know that you cannot over mix the dough. That means a lot, especially to new brides who are not experienced in cooking. Thank you so much.

    I had this baking soda recipe for years now, adding the corn starch is a great idea to store the baking soda for a longer time. I had purchased cream of tartar in larger plastic bags and put them in mylar with an oxygen absorber. I never found out what the shelf life of cream of tartar was and now the shelf life of corn starch. Perhaps you or your viewers could answer these questions.
