Parshall Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:13:07 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=1598#comment-9586 J., I’ve never heard of such a restriction. I know that baking powder biscuits and pancakes were staples in my grandmother’s house during the war, so even if prices went up the product was still available.

Dunno why the cakes are made with soda/vinegar rather than powder. Like my fourth grade teacher used to tell me when she didn’t know any better, “they just ARE.”

Ben, CUB SCOUTS can make these cakes … and ellen will tell you how good they are when she gets back from the kitchen.

Was tartaric acid (what is combined with soda to make baking powder) restricted during the war?

When I was there, it was my priviledge to know some of those people. They were amazing.
