H., Col. WHITE RAISED BREAD 17 Homemade Baking Powder To 1 lb and 2 ozs cream tartar add y^ lb bi-carbonate of soda and ^A lb fine cornstarch. Mix well and sift through, a very fine sieve at least six times to be sure that the ingredi- ents are evenly distributed. All the ingredients must be dry, and the baking powder should be kept in a close tin, and set away in a dry place. Weigh the ingredients exactly, accord- ing to the above given quantities. Too much soda will cause yellow or brown spots to appear in the batters where this bak- ing powder is used, and besides being unpalatable, when too much soda is used it hinders digestion. — [A.
