dear Pam if you had been my teacher growing up I would have been an A student I learn so much from your videos thank you I hope you are blessed with health and strength to continue doing this videos 🌻🌻🌼
I already knew this in a way due to my grandmother using baking soda which she called bicarbonate soda and an ingredient she called winestone. My husband who is Dutch and does not cook when I told him that he said it in dutch but did not know what she meant and he had spelt it wrong. So after watching your video and knowing my grandmother was part dutch I googled the translation of Cream of tartar is alled wijnsteen which if translated literally wijn steen then it would be winestone. Both wijnsteen and dream of tatar are crystallised tartaric acid. This acid becomes crystallised in wine barrels and is scraped out then milled into a fine powder to make it if done the original way. My grandmother never used baking powder. Now I know the exact amounts from this video as well. THANKS!!!
Fantastic video, yes I make my own baking powder. Instead of corn starch I use arrow root powder. Which has potassium and b vit. Also it is aluminum free. Unlike most store brands. It's just as simple to make brown sugar. White sugar mixed with molasses. You can make it as dark or light as you wish.❤
Baking Powder (single acting-don’t let it sit) 2 parts cream of tartar 1 part baking soda No arrowroot/cornstarch needed if using immediately Arrowroot or cornstarch allows it to be stored Add 1 part arrowroot/cornstarch No dessicant can be in with it. Do not vacuum seal.
There is little doubt that ppl’s lives will be saved by the hard work researching, experiments, testing, & thorough concise education you share with us. God bless you and Jim.
Incredibly helpful video. I do a bit of baking due to 24 children enrolled in childcare. And I'm trying to stock up in preparation of potential food shortages. This video will prove to steer me in the correct storage methods now that I've been educated by my greatest mentors. Thank you Pam and Jim for being so thoughtful in bringing us all the tidbits you do!
Very interesting video! In my family we all have family recipes handwritten in to a school exercise book. On the flyleaf of mine, in Mum’s writing, is the cream of tartar and bicarb soda “recipe” for baking powder. In some of the family recipes, particularly Gran’s, it adds the two into the mix separately & Mum always said to put it into the flour before the sifting process, along with any spices, as her sifter had a mixing wheel inside it. I still do this. A lot of Gran’s recipes are very old & called for plain (all purpose) flour with leavening or beaten egg white to get the rise. Gran was a fantastic home cook and produced feather light sponge cakes & scones (biscuits) baked in her wood stove. I am forever thankful ❤ to both Gran & Mum for teaching me so many frugal methods. I miss them so much. I think that’s one of the reason I love your videos. The warmth, sharing & learning is like being back in that familiar bubble. ❤
This video was timely! I have already purchased bulk cream of tarter in order to have that component of baking powder (always have baking soda), but hadn’t done my homework on how to store, etc. In an effort to simplify food storage I have been working towards storing the components/ingredients to make products as we use them. I can’t think of one example where the components aren’t more shelf stable than the bottled products we buy. I would love to see more videos like this.
We are going to enter rough times. You have been a God sent angel, teaching people to be prepared safely, and on a variety of subjects. Your videos are the go to on so many things. ❤️God bless you.
Never seen a video I could watch at 3X speed while typing and still absorb the information of the presenter...but that's okay. The content of the video is pretty solid, and the recipe is pretty solid. Not quite as good as the heat-based baking powder that is commercial, but a lot more accessible.
I am thrilled to know this. I don’t bake often so storing ingredients makes more sense than storing baking powder. I have had to discard so much baking powder over the years. Thanks for the lesson.
Another teaching moment! Thanks for not only telling us but showing us the whys and wherefores of these food items. You never know how necessary they are until you don't have them. Now, we can make our own, which is a good thing! Thank you both.
We've used Rumford brand of baking powder for years because it doesn't contain aluminum compounds. Love that info on making your own, those are able to be gotten in bulk.
I can’t express how much I appreciate you. You make learning fun and memorable. You really have a gift. I’m grateful to have found you and to be able to learn from you.
Wow, this was so helpful. Love not only the substitution recipe, but the scientific explanation was fantastic. It’s great to know why things work. You are a true gem!
This was your best video yet! Baking powder always kind of puzzled me, but now I see it's a simple compound that gives puzzling results until you understand its makeup. As is so often the case, the answer was simple too, and as a bonus we now know how to test baking powder.
I have made baking powder for years with a bit different recipe. Equal amounts of the soda, corn starch and cream of tartar by measure, not weight. I buy cream if tartar in bulk from San Francisco Herb Co. for about $5 a pound plus shipping or off Amazon with free shipping. I buy Rumford brand aluminum free too. It has been hard to get bulk cream of tartar with the supply chain issues. I have my grandmother's Rumford company's cookbook from the early 1900's. Very interesting ideas. Raise 7 kids so we went through lots with me makings baked goods.
Ma'am, all your videos are informative and useful, but this video answers all my questions and provides a simple way to store the ingredients long term to make baking powder. Thank you for your research and diligence in providing this information.
I LOVE this..I am always trying to keep things on hand to make other basic stuff and this is perfect. Your explaination is very thorough and I understood it really well. PS I love your red hair.. your married name "Cantrell" is my Maiden name and my Dad had the deepest red hair ever and I ALWAYS loved it. He is no longer with us and he is missed dearly but your Last name is why I started watching your videos and I am so glad I did! :)
We are happy that you like Pam's thorough explanations. In my family, my father had three siblings, two brothers, and one sister. My aunt had no children and two of the brothers had one female each. One died at 28 (had two girls) and the other died about 50 (had no children). Thank you for watching our channel. Jim
We are putting on the armour of knowledge. Thank you I'm trying to remember to put these bits of information in my binder so younger people will know what to do if they can not use technology.
I have been offline for a while and just watched this AMAZING video!! I have always known that baking soda and baking powder were leavening agents but didn't know the chemistry of each and why sometimes we use one over the other. Thank you Professor!!! I can't tell you how excited I am to have learned this!! I called my Great Aunt to tell her this and she said she already knew. LOL Of course she did! They used to teach this stuff at home and in home economics. Now that I know this I'm going to teach everyone I know!! Again, Thank You!! ♥
I loved this video. I've been in, to information on basic ingredients and how to make them for my pantry. I've made ACV, and Fire Cider etc. If the world implodes, this basic information is incredibly valuable!!!! Thank you.
The only people in our area that buy large bulk amounts of baking soda are the home growers of weed. Seems like in an enclosed area it benefits the growing plants with Carbon Dioxide. LOL I just had a chuckle when I saw the small bag of baking soda on the counter. Just found your channel and enjoy your content! Side note, if you put the baking powder into a wide mouthed quart canning jar (entire can and all) and use a vacuum sealer attachment on the jar every use, it will last for years once opened. You can see exactly what it is as the can is intact and provides added storage and instructions. I've never had a problem with vacuum sealing. Just remember a bad vacuum seal will eventually pull air into the container. Don't trash your old baking powder, use it in the garden.
I recently baked some bread, I used 2 tsp of vinegar onto my once-risen dough, kneaded the vinegar into the dough, and then gave it another rise before egg washing and baking. It was so much better tasting after adding that small amount of vinegar. And the bread seemed to last longer at room temp on the counter for 4 days. Just saying.... thanks for this guided test, once again. Great info, even for us seasoned homeowners!
@@Monkchip I had a professional baker tell me to use a little lemon juice in bread dough, which would be the same thing. It’s not to interact with the yeast, it’s like a dough conditioner, I think.
@@cynthiafisher9907 it takes away the yeasty aftertaste sometimes present in quick bread. A better way is to use cool, not cold water, reduce the amount of yeast by 1/2 to 2/3, kneed the dough as usual, place the in a covered container to prevent it from drying out. Let the dough rise in the fridge until it has at least doubled in size, take it out and stretch and fold the dough like a sourdough then put it back in the fridge for at least another 8 - 12 hours. After that take the dough out, form it into a loaf, heavily dust it with flour and place in a bread banneton, put the banneton with the dough in a sealed plastic bag and back into the fridge until it has risen to almost twice the volume. Bake hotter and longer than regular yeast bread.
This is a really great video, Pam and Jim 👏👍😊 It's so important to be able to make your own things for around the kitchen and home. It seems 'they' are putting more and more chemicals in food items and household products that should be pure. This gives us the power of knowledge. Thank you for sharing and all the best from the UK to you both. 🇬🇧🙏🥰
I know exactly what you mean. In my Woolworths and Coles and Aldi (major local supermarkets near me in Australia) I have only been able to find one salt out of many that doesn’t have anything else added, just salt. I need it pure for curing meat. Needless to say, I bought it in bulk off the shelf! 💖
When I learn something like this, I write the recipe for the (baking powder) on a small.label and put it on the jar with a note where I learned it. It's saved me lots of searching when I want to refill my container or if a friend asks me how and where I learned it
I knew about how to make baking powder but your visual about the hows and whys is just fabulous! In my 60's and I'm learning some basic cooking skills I wish I had known all my years :P Great info to add to our understanding!
To store baking powder, place a desiccant packet into a jar and place the baking powder, container and all, into the jar and close tightly. This will dry out any possible moisture that might have been in the air or any that might have leaked in before putting on the lid.
I searched for this topic for one thing I needed to know about baking powder and learned sooo much more! It answered ALL the questions I have on a list to learn about later! Thank you!!
I love learning new things! I've just never taken the time, mostly because I haven't NEEDED to take the time, to do the research on this. Like everybody else, I've become so complacent and dependent upon having these simple items in my kitchen at the ready, however it's becoming more and more obvious to some of us that this might not always be the norm. Thank you for all you and Jim do!
I have found this most useful. I only stopped by because your sign said 2:1:1 and I figured you were not going to take my whole lunch hour. I am now subscribing. Thank you for such informative instructions!
Great timing of video! I made cookies this am and was hoping my baking soda was still good. It had a 2020 BBD, but unsure when i opened it in 2022. I did your testing and it is still good. Very informative info you have given us. My Baking powder containers are now in canning jars! Going to jot this info down in my Prepper Manual.. Thank you
Thank you Mrs. Pam for sharing this. I didn't know one could test baking soda and baking powder using these methods, nor did I know cream of tartar was acid base and that I can make my own baking powder. I will definitely remember that ratio 2:1:1
You are the most interesting, knowledgeable preppers on any channel. I just started seriously prepping a few months ago. I have been watching many many many videos on prepping, canning, preserving, homesteading, gardening, cooking. You explain everything to us, like we are adults not idiots, that makes so much sence, as to why it needs to be done that way. Please never stop. I am binge watching you channel. I just discovered you, I apparently miss so much.
I have been a sun to ur channel very long & I don't always comment. But U R just what my family needs bc we home educate. We cook together most meals. I have learned so much from U as I've been benge watching 👀 ur awesome knowledge filled videos. I decided to start saving them in my lists on my channel. I appreciate Ur loving kindness & sharing ur wisdom with me & my family 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
I love all the knowledge you share with us, great information. I make my own baking powder. I am gluten free & do not use corn starch. I use this recipe from Deliciously Organic, 1 part baking soda + 1 part cream of tartar + 2 parts arrowroot powder. I store in a glass jar.
I just watched your video on biscuits and you mentioned this video. how timely! I was hoping to bake some biscuits today (using up some leftover gluten free flours that I no longer need but hated to throw out) and knew my baking soda was old. It expired 4 YEARS ago! Obviously, I don't bake quick breads often. Wonder of wonders, I happen to have brand new containers of both cream of tartar and baking soda. You have saved the day!
We have raised beds, large wood boxes, cardboard boxes, a tilled field, wild berries, fruit trees, potted berries, wild herbs, cultivated herbs, trellised gourds, untrellised gourds & a strawberry bed made from 2 pieces of wood and some cinder blocks. When we tried setting up strawberries in a straight line directly in the soil with weed block and pins they died. It was tragic. When we threw caution to the wind and cobbled together the boards & blocks they took off. Nary a bare spot to be found and lots of berries! Try something and if it fails, try something else.
Yes, developing new solutions based on the data is how we both work. We have had a lot of fails and had to develop and operationalize new possibilities. Thanks for your comments. Jim
I have no idea why i just found you, but better late than never . Thanks a million. You are truly an amazing teacher. You explained things so well that they are easy to understand. Thank you.
Thank you Pam and Jim. This is a nice recipe to have on hand for times when you need som baking powder and it has expired! Also, if the grocery stores close, we will know what to do. Knowledge is power, right? I am really excited to make those biscuits you showed us. How wonderful is it to know that you cannot over mix the dough. That means a lot, especially to new brides who are not experienced in cooking. Thank you so much.
Thank you Rose. I have learned so much from you. I am making a half size notebook. What I learned from you. This lesson on how to make baking power is essential for me.
I just finished using baking soda that was open and kept in my freezer for over 10 years. As long as we have our freezers, we can keep it many years after it expires. I finished a can dated 1999 a couple of years ago. It was good as new.
Fascinating! I plan to have the individual ingredients properly packaged in my long-term storage, plus purchase a few small baking powder cans that I will drop unopened, as is, into closed canning jars for additional convenience in my pantry. Thank you for sharing such practical information.
Wonderful video! You are a fantastic teacher! My husband and I truly appreciate learning how to be as self sufficient as possible from you and Jim. Thank you for giving the ingredients and the know-how on how to make our own baking powder. We will enjoy making it and adding that skill to our growing list of skills to be self reliant.💓🙇♀🙏
WOW!.... You are someone that has a miraculous ability to explain something that complexes most people that might be just entering the baking world. I've been baking homemade bread for approximately 4-5 years now in a wood fired kitchen cook stove. I have a much better understanding of what is happening now when I add baking powder and baking soda to all purpose flour. I never buy things that people hawk on their videos. But, I think when you decide to release your bread book, I will probably be one of the first in line to buy one. Thank You for the excellent video.
Good to know! Nice to understand how they all work. There were times I didn’t have baking powder. Now I’m going to look up what cream of tarter is made from.
I really enjoyed this video. Living way out out in the country, not going to store when run out of something like this, is awesome to make in a hurry and store on the shelf. Thank you for sharing, I so appreciate it. ✝️💟
I knew how to make baking powder. But loved the way you explained how it works. I would have loved sitting in your classes and learning. Thank you . Keep the videos coming!
I love that you not only teach how to do things, but also the science behind it. Thank you for taking the time to do this and write those books!
You are very welcome.
I agree, it helps so much when you understand the science and reasoning behind the idea. I love science and we are always learning.
Isn’t she great! Always full of useful information.
dear Pam if you had been my teacher growing up I would have been an A student I learn so much from your videos thank you
I hope you are blessed with health and strength to continue doing this videos 🌻🌻🌼
Thank you so much for your kind words. I would love to have had you as a student!
I already knew this in a way due to my grandmother using baking soda which she called bicarbonate soda and an ingredient she called winestone. My husband who is Dutch and does not cook when I told him that he said it in dutch but did not know what she meant and he had spelt it wrong. So after watching your video and knowing my grandmother was part dutch I googled the translation of Cream of tartar is alled wijnsteen which if translated literally wijn steen then it would be winestone. Both wijnsteen and dream of tatar are crystallised tartaric acid. This acid becomes crystallised in wine barrels and is scraped out then milled into a fine powder to make it if done the original way. My grandmother never used baking powder. Now I know the exact amounts from this video as well. THANKS!!!
In Norway we call it vinsyre. Translates to wine acid. :)
That’s interesting. I have had those crystals form in the bottom of the jar when I can grape juice.
Hmm who knew? Thank you for that information!
Lovely story ❤ Thanks for sharing 😊
Tartar has 2 t's, starch has 1 s, soda has 1 s thus two tartars, one starch, one soda. Easy way to remember.
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I always learn something from your videos.
Fantastic video, yes I make my own baking powder. Instead of corn starch I use arrow root powder. Which has potassium and b vit. Also it is aluminum free. Unlike most store brands. It's just as simple to make brown sugar. White sugar mixed with molasses. You can make it as dark or light as you wish.❤
Do you use 1 tsp of arrow root for 1 tsp of corn starch?
@@seaflower1520 yes the same 1:1:2
Thanks for that. I would prefer that over corn starch
Thank you for the tips!!
What a great tip.
Baking Powder (single acting-don’t let it sit)
2 parts cream of tartar
1 part baking soda
No arrowroot/cornstarch needed if using immediately
Arrowroot or cornstarch allows it to be stored
Add 1 part arrowroot/cornstarch
No dessicant can be in with it. Do not vacuum seal.
You got it!

You are very welcome. We love it when our videos are useful for people. Thanks for your comment.
I am new to your channel and am learning so much. There are so many videos to go through and so much to learn!
Great info! Great science lesson…you make it so much fun to learn 💕💕
Thanks for these tips! Love it!😊
I have found this most useful. I only stopped by because your sign said 2:1:1 and I figured you were not going to take my whole lunch hour. I am now subscribing. Thank you for such informative instructions!
Your welcome. Jim
Love it when you teach me with science!!
This is very helpful information. I've never had luck with biscuits; but with your help, I will be successful. Thank you.
Great timing of video! I made cookies this am and was hoping my baking soda was still good. It had a 2020 BBD, but unsure when i opened it in 2022. I did your testing and it is still good. Very informative info you have given us. My Baking powder containers are now in canning jars! Going to jot this info down in my Prepper Manual.. Thank you
This video has taken me back to high school home economics. Cream of Tartar is now on my shopping list. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thank you Mrs. Pam for sharing this. I didn't know one could test baking soda and baking powder using these methods, nor did I know cream of tartar was acid base and that I can make my own baking powder. I will definitely remember that ratio 2:1:1
You are the most interesting, knowledgeable preppers on any channel. I just started seriously prepping a few months ago. I have been watching many many many videos on prepping, canning, preserving, homesteading, gardening, cooking. You explain everything to us, like we are adults not idiots, that makes so much sence, as to why it needs to be done that way. Please never stop. I am binge watching you channel. I just discovered you, I apparently miss so much.
I just bumped onto this video, am so thrilled to learn such as one who loves nutritional lessons, keep it up
Thank you! Jim
For those who can't have, or don't want, corn products, you can substitute arrowroot powder.
This is very thorough and informative. Thank you so much
Your children are so lucky to have y'all to pass down all this knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure! Thank you.
Oh,Rose,that blouse looks FANTASTIC on you,dear
Yes, it does. Her name is Pam.
Genius, a wealth of knowledge!!!
I have been a sun to ur channel very long & I don't always comment. But U R just what my family needs bc we home educate. We cook together most meals. I have learned so much from U as I've been benge watching 👀 ur awesome knowledge filled videos. I decided to start saving them in my lists on my channel. I appreciate Ur loving kindness & sharing ur wisdom with me & my family 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thank you for your very kind comments. We appreciate that you watch our channel. Jim
This is the lecture I needed in grade school but didn't get! Thank you!
LOL! You are welcome.
I love all the knowledge you share with us, great information. I make my own baking powder. I am gluten free & do not use corn starch. I use this recipe from Deliciously Organic, 1 part baking soda + 1 part cream of tartar + 2 parts arrowroot powder. I store in a glass jar.
You have one of the most informative channels on UA-cam! Thank you for all you teach me.
I just watched your video on biscuits and you mentioned this video. how timely! I was hoping to bake some biscuits today (using up some leftover gluten free flours that I no longer need but hated to throw out) and knew my baking soda was old. It expired 4 YEARS ago! Obviously, I don't bake quick breads often. Wonder of wonders, I happen to have brand new containers of both cream of tartar and baking soda. You have saved the day!
You can buy bulk baking powder and vacuum pack it in jars with a food saver machine.
very informative. thank you!
We have raised beds, large wood boxes, cardboard boxes, a tilled field, wild berries, fruit trees, potted berries, wild herbs, cultivated herbs, trellised gourds, untrellised gourds & a strawberry bed made from 2 pieces of wood and some cinder blocks. When we tried setting up strawberries in a straight line directly in the soil with weed block and pins they died. It was tragic.
When we threw caution to the wind and cobbled together the boards & blocks they took off. Nary a bare spot to be found and lots of berries! Try something and if it fails, try something else.
Yes, developing new solutions based on the data is how we both work. We have had a lot of fails and had to develop and operationalize new possibilities. Thanks for your comments. Jim
Thank you for you're video's! They're very informative!
Glad you like them! Jim
Excellent video!
Beautiful help from a beautiful person. Ty.
👍✝️🙏❤️
I have no idea why i just found you, but better late than never . Thanks a million. You are truly an amazing teacher. You explained things so well that they are easy to understand. Thank you.
So glad you found us! Welcome to our community.
Thank you Pam and Jim. This is a nice recipe to have on hand for times when you need som baking powder and it has expired! Also, if the grocery stores close, we will know what to do. Knowledge is power, right? I am really excited to make those biscuits you showed us. How wonderful is it to know that you cannot over mix the dough. That means a lot, especially to new brides who are not experienced in cooking. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Thank you that is very well presented
Very nice video Rose. Bravo
Thank you Rose. I have learned so much from you. I am making a half size notebook. What I learned from you. This lesson on how to make baking power is essential for me.
Wonderful! That is a great idea.
Awesome video as always!!!
Thanks again! Jim
I just finished using baking soda that was open and kept in my freezer for over 10 years. As long as we have our freezers, we can keep it many years after it expires. I finished a can dated 1999 a couple of years ago. It was good as new.
An excellent lesson! Thank you!
You are welcome.
This is definitely the video to rewatch and take notes, so thank you!
I always wondered if my baking powder was good, thanks for the information.
You are welcome--glad the info was useful.
Fascinating! I plan to have the individual ingredients properly packaged in my long-term storage, plus purchase a few small baking powder cans that I will drop unopened, as is, into closed canning jars for additional convenience in my pantry. Thank you for sharing such practical information.
So glad you found it useful.
Wonderful video! You are a fantastic teacher! My husband and I truly appreciate learning how to be as self sufficient as possible from you and Jim. Thank you for giving the ingredients and the know-how on how to make our own baking powder. We will enjoy making it and adding that skill to our growing list of skills to be self reliant.💓🙇♀🙏
We are delighted to read your comment! Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind words.
Him thank you so much for sharing that. I didn’t know any of this. Your shows are so interesting . I learned so much from you. Thank you again.
You are very welcome! So glad the information was useful.
I didn’t know this important message! ❤ thanks to you and Jim
You are welcome! Jim
Oh wow! Very informative. I didn't realize I didn't know as much as I thought I did about baking powder! Thank you ❤
This is valuable information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!.... You are someone that has a miraculous ability to explain something that complexes most people that might be just entering the baking world.
I've been baking homemade bread for approximately 4-5 years now in a wood fired kitchen cook stove. I have a much better understanding of what is happening now when I add baking powder and baking soda to all purpose flour. I never buy things that people hawk on their videos. But, I think when you decide to release your bread book, I will probably be one of the first in line to buy one. Thank You for the excellent video.
Thanks for the education right at my fingertips!
You are welcome.
Thanks, Pam and Jim, for the information.
Good to know! Nice to understand how they all work. There were times I didn’t have baking powder. Now I’m going to look up what cream of tarter is made from.
I really enjoyed this video. Living way out out in the country, not going to store when run out of something like this, is awesome to make in a hurry and store on the shelf. Thank you for sharing, I so appreciate it. ✝️💟
You are very welcome.
I knew how to make baking powder. But loved the way you explained how it works. I would have loved sitting in your classes and learning. Thank you . Keep the videos coming!
You are so welcome! We are always working on new videos!
