What can you use instead of creme of tartar?
I don't think anything replaces cream of tartar, but it will only make a slight difference if you don't use it. If you are making a meringue it may not hold together as well, and if you are making cookies they won't be as crisp. If you are beating eggs whites - you can substitute white vinegar. Use the same ratio as cream of tartar, generally 1/8 teaspoon per egg white. For baking projects, you could use white vinegar or lemon juice, in the ratio of 3 times the amount of cream of tartar called for, to provide the acid for most recipes. This may be problematic, as that amount of liquid could cause cakes to have a coarser grain or may cause shrinking. It is obviously preferable to use cream of tartar, and some might suggest you just skip the replacement also.
