p.s. What is Tartar?



I found this description if it helps any:

Tartaric acid is a brownish-red acid powder (potassium bitartrate) that is
precipitated onto the walls of casks used to age wine. When refined into a
white acid powder, 'cream of tartar', it is used in baking. Chemically it
is
potassium hydrogen tartrate, KC4H5O6, the acidic potassium salt of
tartaric
acid.
Cream of tartar is an acid powder. Combined with baking SODA it makes
baking
POWDER.

Cream of tartar is also used to give a creamier texture to sugary things
like candy and frosting and to stabilize and increase the volume of beaten
egg whites.

I also note that its an ingredient used in a lot of recipes for allergy
sufferers.
