Cream of tarter works as a thickening agent and works similar to cornstarch. One stick of butter 4oz. equals 113grams. Fluid ounces vary but basically 1 cup equals 8oz. I weigh everything when baking, I find it to be much more consistent and accurate! Hope this helps!

white crystalline powder. Chemically it is potassium hydrogen tartrate, KC 4 H 5 O 6 , the acidic potassium salt of tartaric acid . It is used as the leavening agent in baking powders. An impure form, called tartar or argol, forms naturally during the fermentation of grape juice into wine and crystallizes in the wine casks.
Thanks to you all.
