Baking Powder

Baking powder is a necessary ingredient in baked goods that helps add volume and soften their texture. If you're all out, you can sub 1/4 tsp baking soda + 1/2 tsp cream of tartar (OR 1/2 tsp vinegar OR 1/2 lemon juice) for 1 tsp baking powder. Also, if you have self-rising flour on hand, you can omit the baking powder. And you can even substitute milk that's gone sour, using 1/2 cup sour milk + 1/4 tsp baking soda for 1 tsp baking powder.
