Good question! The cream of tartar is an acid and it helps stabilize the egg whites and help them whip up to the highest fluffy heights! You can use lemon juice instead, just use twice the amount of lemon juice as the cream of tartar that is called for.
Rachel, we're fond of lemon flavours I'm our home. These are going on the list to try!
Oh good I hope you love them!
Sounds so springy and delicious!
The sun is shining I'm in the mood for springtime!!
Loving the blow torch action! Both looks and sounds delish :)
Thanks! Any chance to break out the blow torch is fun!
Yum! I love anything lemon-flavored.
Me too! But…I have made this with all passion fruit juice instead of lemon- now that is really something!
Wow, that sounds amazing!
Looks like a delicious recipe. What is the role of cream of tartar—does it add flavor or texture? I don’t think I’ve used it before.

That is good to know!
