To go off on a tangent, I found out recently that homemade baking powder works so much better than bought stuff there's no comparison. I don't know why this should be; up until this I never even noticed the quality of baking powder. You put it in, it makes things rise. It didn't seem to be an ingredient which was open to quality comparisons, apart from the stuff you get in the USA which contains freakin' aluminium for no apparent reason other than to give you Alzheimer's.

Anyway, I ran out of baking powder one time, and had to make some. (It is made by combining baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar in the right proportions.) The results, as they say in infomercials, will leave you stunned.
