Cream of Tartar

Cream of Tartar (potassium bitarate) is added to beaten egg whites to improve their stability when whipped for making meringues, soufflés and angel food cakes. Who doesn't need a little more stability in their life?!?

It also prevents cooked sugar from crystallizing, making it good for adding to candies and frostings to ensure a creamy texture. It’s a must-have ingredient for snickerdoodle cookies.
