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.
In addition to helping to leaven baked goods, cream of tartar is used as a stabilizing agent and is added to beaten egg whites to increase their stability and volume. It is also sometimes added to candies or frostings to give them a creamier texture because it can help to prevent the crystallization of cooked sugar.
