For best results, use fresh ingredients. Check the expiration dates on your cream of tartar and baking soda. If you live in a humid climate, consider adding a small desiccant packet to your storage container to absorb any excess moisture. This recipe yields approximately 4 teaspoons of baking powder. Adjust the quantities proportionally if you need a larger batch. Be sure to mix the baking powder into your dry ingredients thoroughly to avoid uneven leavening.
