i love baking bread!
Since November 2008, I have made all of the bread my family eats. It's surprisingly fast and easy to do. You can check out my favourite bread recipes at a special section of my site devoted to bread recipes -

Homemade Baking Powder
March 3, 2009
I stumbled on this while browsing Epicurious tonight. I always knew that you could use a mixture of cream of tartar and baking soda as a substitute for baking powder, but I didn't know that a lot of people use this regularly, instead of commercial baking powder. I started buying non-aluminum baking powder a couple of years ago (available at my local health food store), but I'm going to try this as well.
Basic recipe - 1/4 cup cream of tartar and 2 Tbsp. baking soda (Which equates to 2 parts cream of tartar to 1 part baking soda). Mixture keeps for up to 6 weeks when stored in a cool, dark location.

This is so funny...I stumbled on a similar concoction just this week in an old recipe file a friend lent me to browse through....along with a lot of other 'substitute' information.
