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.
Where cream of tartar is a stabilizing agent for egg whites, a pinch added to boiling sugar is actually an interfering agent. The cream of tartar gets in the way of sugar's natural tendency to bind together and prevents those dreaded sugar crystals from forming. Some sources say that white vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted for cream of tartar, but it can get tricky since you need more vinegar to get the same acidic reaction and that amount of added liquid could cause problems with the original recipe.
