Egg-Powder

Egg-powder, as it is called, is a compound intended to serve as a substitute for eggs, to four of which one penny packet professes to be equivalent in cake making, and sufficient to add to two pounds of flour. It is commonly made as follows. Take one pound of cream of tartar, half a pound of bicarbonate of soda, two ounces of powdered magnesia, one ounce of powdered carbonate of ammonia. Mix thoroughly, and keep in a dry place.
