Power of suggestion perhaps?

Okay, probably sometime midweek, I will try this out and report back to everyone here.

Been nice knowing you Flippy. If we don't hear from you again we know why.

Cream of Tarter can be a substitute for Corn Starch. It is also a staple in scones.

Out of curiousity, being a complete novice in the kitchen, is cream of tarter a key ingredient in tarter sauce?

Not in any recipe that I've ever seen. Tartar sauce is generally a mixture of mayonnaise and pickle relish, with nary a hint of cream of tartar to be found.

Tartar sauce was originally served with Steak Tartare - hence the name.

Cream of Tartar is what gives Play Dough that wonderful Play Dough taste.

Really? I've never seen it any of the scone recipes I use.

The things I learn - "cream of tartar" is tartaric acid obtained from the residue of the wine making process.

According to another source, cream of tartar is vital to the process of making Pavlova - if you live in Australia. Apparently, if you are a Kiwi, Pavlova is made with white wine vinegar instead. Can our residents Down-Underers confirm this?
