The fossil record tells us: - That there lived different types of lifeforms in the past than today. - That life changes over time. - That life shows diverging progressioâ¦ns of morphological traits over deep time. - That past life adhered to the same nested hierarchies we also find in extant life.
If you are beating eggs whites and don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute white vinegar (in the same ratio as cream of tartar, generally 1/8 teaspoon per egg white). It is a little more problematic to find a substitute for cream of tartar in baking projects.
Conversely, you should be able to substitute 4 tsp. baking powder for the 1 tsp. baking soda + 2 tsp. cream of tartar your recipe calls for. You'll also be adding the starch in the baking powder, but so little that it shouldn't affect the recipe, I would think. posted by DevilsAdvocate at 4:10 PM on October 28, 2009.
