What do I substitute Cream of Tartar with?
I have a recipe for homemade playdough. The problem is that is needs cream of tartar–since it isn’t available here. I’ve read about white vinegar and/or lemon juice. Would it work as well in this recipe?
Thanks!
I live in Germany where this is not readily available. I do believe that I can get it, but it is usually imported, which is expensive, or at "foreign" (asian, middle-eastern) markets, and expensive.
I researched it and this is what I found…
2 cups flour
2 cups warm water
1 cup salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oul
1 tablespoon cream of tarter…
Then in the recipe I found it says that cream of tartar is optional and it is only used for elasticity. So i say leave out the cream of tartar.
i have tried that once, it did not work,,, just go out and buy it
Baking powder is a good substitute for Cream of Tartar — it is a mixture of Cream of Tartar and Baking soda.
