I recently realised I was almost out of Cream Of Tartar, but noticed they had it on offer at Approved Foods, so I included a drum in my recentorder. This duly arrived – but I am a little concerned.
My original drum was from SUPERCOOK…
but the new one is made by a company rejoicing in the name of MILLSTONE…
What will changing from being a supercook to using the millstone do for the lightness of my scones, I wonder?
And tartar is such a weird word anyway – it has at least 4 definitions, and some not very pleasant ones at that!
- a salt [potassium bitartrate] used especially in baking powder
- a fiercely vigilant and unpleasant woman
- a member of the Mongolian people of central Asia who invaded Russia in the 13th century
- a hard yellowish incrustation that forms on the teeth and gums
I'm sure your scones will be delicious anyway, whether Millstones or Supercooked.
ReplyDeleteROFLOL!!!! Angela, you make me laugh. I never would have thought of all that from a simple can of cream of tartar!
ReplyDeleteDon't suppose you'll be sharing the scone recipe?
ReplyDeletewould you post your recipe for scones, as although I have a half decent one here it doesn't include cream of tartar......
