Hi Teresa, have you had any success with keeping this? I've been
told that homemade baking powder loses it strength in a very short
time. Also been told you need to use twice as much as what the
recipe would call for. Do you know if there is any truth to either
of those comments? I wouldn't mind mixing up a cup of it but don't
want to waste the ingredients if they aren't going to last. Thanks,
Poppy

I've been
told that homemade baking powder loses it strength in a very short
time. > I have not had any problems with it losing it's strength but I use mine
allot. I do keep mine in the fridge.And use it within a month.

Also been told you need to use twice as much as what the
recipe would call for>>>.
I use just what my recipe calls for and see no change.
Lots of TLC to you,
