Cream of Tartar?

The recipe below calls for Cream of Tartar. I've never used it before but
understand it's an ingredient in baking powder. If the recipe already
uses baking powder can it live without Cream of Tarter?

Sure, you might lose a little volume but for pancakes it shouldn't matter.

Cinnamon Oat Pancake Mix

INGREDIENTS:

* 4 cups quick cooking oats
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 cup non-fat dry milk
* 2 Tb cinnamon
* 1 1/2 Tb salt
* 3 Tb baking powder
* 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

To this you add a bunch of vegetable oil and what you have is a
high-glycemic low-protein calorie-dense meal to which you add butter &
syrup, right?

Why do this to yourself? Why not just have some oatmeal and milk & eggs
and skip the flour, oil & syrup?

Makes about 8 cups.

Directions for cooking pancakes:
In a medium mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs. Beat in 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
gradually.

Alternately beat in 2 cups pancake mix and 1 cup of water. Pour in large
spoonfuls into a lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat, and cook
until the tops show broken bubbles, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook
about 2 to 3 minutes more, until golden brown. Makes about 12 5-inch
pancakes.

Perhaps because he fancies some pancakes? Just a wild guess..... )

i dont know the technical terms but the cream of tartar and the baking
powder combine to cause the reaction of the flour rising. so, to make life
easier, just use self raising flour which has those ingredients active
already

Actually my recipe will look more like this:

1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup soy milk
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 egg whites
1/4 cup oil

maple syrup

This is a family breakfast for a weekend. I have no intentions of
teaching my 15 y/o daughter that she can't have pancakes. I'd rather
offer these pancakes that have complex carbs and unsaturated oil and let
her top them with HFCS free syrup.

I should have also mentioned that my family portion controls so this is
just me offering variety and trying to squeeze a few healthy ingredients
into a popular breakfast item. We'll eat a couple each and the birds
will enjoy the left-overs.

I freeze my leftover pancakes. They make a good quick meal. I make mine
with oatmeal, ff cottage cheese, and egg beaters.

The birds at my house already have plenty of seed and suet to eat .

No problem, I just thought it odd that you were talking about
high-glycemic calorie-dense not-very-nutritious recipes in a diet group.
I didn't realize it was your foodie group. My bad.
