You can easily make your own baking powder. Often commercially bought baking powder has wheat gluten in it. This recipe is gluten free, wheat free, and very easy to make using ingredients that should be readily available at your grocery store. It may be hard to find gluten-free baking powder in the store, or you may end up paying more for it. But it's so quick, inexpensive and simple to buy these 3 ingredients (you may already have some of them in your kitchen), and make your own. So if you want baking powder that's vegan and gluten-free, here's your recipe…
Ingredients:
2 parts Cream of Tartar
1 part baking soda
1 part cornstarch
Stir and sift all ingredients together and you've got baking powder. Use as normal.
Cornstarch is not gluten-free.
Joanne is incorrect – cornstarch IS gluten free. However it is not paleo if that is important to you.
Cornstarch is gluten-free unless it is wheaten cornflour
I need to cook using G F Baking Pdr. – can I use all purpose G F flour instead of GF Plain flour + G F Baking Pdr
Hi Rebecca, it depends on your recipe. My guess would be that they are different names for the same thing.
