McCormick Gourmet™ All Natural Cream Of Tartar, 2.62 oz

Discover our finest flavors with the McCormick Gourmet™ Collection of our best herbs and spices — including McCormick Gourmet Collection Cream of Tartar. Although tasteless, cream of tartar elevates baked goods and desserts by giving desserts their rise and preventing them from deflating. McCormick Gourmet Collection Cream of Tartar is a derivative of tartaric acid, a natural byproduct of winemaking. It's used to stabilize beaten egg whites when preparing angel food cake, meringues, macarons, and frostings, resulting in light and fluffy desserts. A pinch of cream of tartar helps to stabilize homemade whipped cream, too. Cream of tartar also stops sugar syrup from crystallizing — so you can achieve soft, chewy snickerdoodles.
