1. 1

   The baking powder formula that works for me, & in all recipes from about 1945 on, is very simple.

2. 2

   Thoroughly mix equal parts of baking soda, cream of tartar & starch. The starch can be arrowroot, tapioca, potato, rice, or whatever you can eat or have at hand. I usually use tapioca starch these days. If you remember to convert when using it, you can even leave the starch out, which I tend to do for the cabin & camping.
