Once I realized that we needed to get rid of our store bought baking powder I took to google. I found out that Hain baking powder is made with potato starch instead of cornstarch. This was such good news. I was overjoyed! I could begin baking for my family again. In comes the bad news. I called every grocery store in our area and NONE of them carried this baking powder. If you have a Whole Foods near you then they likely carry it. Otherwise you will probably need to purchase Hain baking powder online. I needed a quicker solution so I decided to give homemade baking powder a try. It turns out that it is so easy to make and only requires 2 ingredients, a bowl and a whisk. It is literally done from start to finish in 3 minutes max. What a relief.
This recipe is starch free. I recommend making a small amount at a time, as it tends to clump over time. You can always whisk the mixture again if you have some left over and want to use it at a later date. If you are looking for a corn free baking powder recipe that does not clump click here.
