I do have potato starch, which I am sure would work just as well.<BR/><BR/>Now I wish I had a nice banana cream pie, and biscuits with butter and honey. :::sigh:::mothersonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482672623267162930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1127917904592516682005-09-28T09:31:00.000-05:002005-09-28T09:31:00.000-05:00Thanks!

I use arrowroot for thickening sauces and stews--has fewer carbs than cornstarch. Every Southern cook has cream of tartar for making those mile-high meringue pies, right?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1127908785695381332005-09-28T06:59:00.000-05:002005-09-28T06:59:00.000-05:00I use this recipe without the arrowroot.

I would never have arrowroot just laying around. :-)<BR/><BR/>We always have cream of tarter because I use it to make playdough.mothersonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482672623267162930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1127906945711938242005-09-28T06:29:00.000-05:002005-09-28T06:29:00.000-05:00If you want to be adventuresome, you can do what I...If you want to be adventuresome, you can do what I do and rely entirely on baking soda and vinegar. I use about 1/4 t. of soda and 1 T. of vinegar for every teaspoon of powder called for. It's super cheap and aluminum free, but it's a little tricky to get the acid/base balance right in some recipes.Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.com
