Substitution ratio: 1 tsp Baking Powder = ¼ tsp Baking Soda + ¼ tsp Cornstarch + ½ tsp Cream of Tartar

Cream of tartar has a mild tangy taste, so if you're making something delicate (like sugar cookies or shortbread), you might notice a tiny bit of extra sharpness. Most of the time, though, the flavor change is barely noticeable.
