Quotation from: General Science

It is not only important to choose the ingredients carefully; it is
also necessary to calculate the respective quantities of each,
otherwise there will be an excess of acid or alkali for the stomach to
take care of. A standard powder contains twice as much cream of tartar
as of bicarbonate of soda, and the thrifty housewife who wishes to
economize, can make for herself, at small cost, as good a baking
powder as any on the market, by mixing tartar and soda in the above
proportions and adding a little corn starch to keep the mixture dry.
