Aluminium Free Baking Powder Recipe

Say goodbye to aluminum in your baking! This homemade aluminum-free baking powder is a simple, healthy alternative to commercial brands. Many commercial baking powders contain aluminum (additive 541, sodium aluminum phosphate), but this recipe uses sodium acid pyrophosphate (additive 450) for a lighter, fluffier result without the aluminum. Perfect for those seeking healthier baking options or avoiding aluminum-containing additives. Originally featured in Grassroots Magazine, this recipe is easy to make and store for all your baking needs!

How to Make Aluminium Free Baking Powder

  1. In a clean, airtight container, combine 12 teaspoons of cream of tartar with 6 teaspoons of baking soda.
  2. Add 6 teaspoons of cornstarch. Cornstarch helps to prevent the baking soda and cream of tartar from reacting prematurely.
  3. Secure the lid tightly on the container.
  4. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  5. Use 2 teaspoons of this homemade baking powder for every cup (120g) of all-purpose flour in your recipes.
