I was messin' with you. You know me!

I, too, was curious about the properties of shortening. I've used it for recipes through the years, but wasn't sure where it fell in the range of cooking oils and such.

You're funny.

Because...?

You've taken a vow of cream of tarter poverty?

A Tartar shot your brother and this is your way of getting revenge?

You nearly suffocated in a barrel of cream of tartar and now you are scarred for life?

Something more mundane?

Absence of the offending item in the presence of an overwhelming desire to create and consume snickerdoodles, m'lud.

A Tartar shot her paw.

When I figure out what that says, I'll come up with a snappy reply.

While we're waiting, you do know that cream of tartar is one of the things that makes a snickerdoodle a snickerdoodle, right? Otherwise you've just got a sugar cookie.

What is cream of tartar, anyway? I mean, I know it is a white powdery stuff in the spice rack, but...??

Limey, I could send you some, if you want!

Thanks case but it is in the shops here, just that shops are a little scarce round my way.
Thanks xob -all that I ever needed to know!
And Pete - when I googled snickerdoodle without cream of tartar I was amazed to see that it was a suggested search and there are lengthy discussions on t'internet which say what you say!
I'll buy some.
In the meanwhile, I'm baking Hot Cross Buns (a little late, should'a been yesterday!).
