- Cream of tartar is an all-natural ingredient essential to bakers.
- It adds texture, volume and lift to beaten egg whites in angel food cake, meringue shells, meringue for pies and 7-minute frostings, resulting in light and fluffy desserts.
- One of the best known uses for cream of tartar is for stabilizing egg whites while whipping them. A pinch of cream of tartar added while the whites are being whipped will strengthen the matrix of bubbles and help prevent the egg foam from collapsing too quickly.
- The tartar also helps to increase the volume of the egg foam and keeps them bright and white.
- Cream of tartar is also often added to baked products to help activate the alkaline baking soda. In fact, cream of tartar mixed with baking soda is what gives us baking powder.
- It's what separates a tangy, chewy snickerdoodle from an ordinary cinnamon-
