I made this for my daughters class for "food group week" she had fruit on her day. I wasn't sure what cream of tarter does exactly and I was reluctant to pay almost 6 dollars for a big container of it because I thought I would only use it this once. I am glad I got it now, I still don't know what it does images/icons/grin.gif but the whole thing was great! I will make this again.

1/2 cup butter, softened (I used butter flavored crisco)
3/4 cup white sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup white sugar

2 In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth. Mix in egg. combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Press dough into an ungreased pizza pan.
