Badia Cream of Tartar, 1.5 oz

Pure potassium bitartrate — the fine white powder that stabilizes egg whites, prevents sugar from crystallizing, and activates baking soda in leavening reactions. A small jar with outsized impact on baking results.

Common Uses

Whip into egg whites for meringue, angel food cake, soufflés, and macarons to lock in structure and volume. Stir into sugar syrups for caramel, candy, and frosting to prevent grainy crystallization. Combine with baking soda (2:1 ratio) to make homemade baking powder. Add to snickerdoodle dough for that signature tang and chew. Use in royal icing for stability and shine.

Pantry Role

A specialty baking essential. Inexpensive, shelf-stable for years, and irreplaceable when a recipe calls for it — there is no real substitute.

Pro Tip

Add 1/8 teaspoon per egg white at the soft-peak stage. The acid tightens the protein network so whites hold stiff peaks longer and resist weeping.
