What is the cream of tartar for? I’ve never seen it in a sauce recipe.

  Good question Trish! It is a thickening agent that I like to use in alternative to cornstarch since I’m allergic to corn. It will not affect the taste of you leave it out, however the sauce might be slightly less thicker.

  Thanks! Good to know! I have some celiac relatives, so cornstarch is good for me to use. You never know what allergies you might run into, though, when you have guests.
