CREAM OF TARTAR

1 pound cream of tartar = 3 3/4 cups
1 Tablespoon = 1/4 ounce

Cream of tartar is an acid powder. Combined with baking SODA it makes baking POWDER.    

Cream of tartar is also used to give a creamier texture to sugary things like candy and frosting and to stabilize and increase the volume of beaten egg whites.
