A Stand-In for ButtermilkThere's nothing more annoying than buying an entire quart of buttermilk for a recipe that only calls for a small amount. Instead, combine 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar, plus enough milk to equal one cup. Stir together and allow to stand for 5 minutes to create “faux buttermilk.” For another option, mix 1 ¾ teaspoon cream of tartar with a cup of milk and let sit for several minutes. Half & Half or Light CreamLight cream and half-and-half can be substituted for each other.

Baking Powder SubstituteYou can substitute 1/4 tsp baking soda plus 1/2 tsp cream of tartar for 1 tsp of baking powder. Evaporated MilkOne cup evaporated milk equals about 3 cups whipped. Allspice SubstituteWhen your recipe calls for 1 tsp allspice - you can use 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp ground cloves. Sour MilkWhen a recipe calls for 1 cup sour milk, combine 1 to 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to measure 1 cup. Brown Sugar SubstituteYou can substitute 3/4 cup granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup molasses for 1 cup of brown sugar. No Rolling PinIf you don't have a rolling pin, fill a jar with cold water and roll on your pastry. Whipped Cream SubstituteIf you don't have any whipped cream, you can pour a 13 ounce can of evaporated milk in a bowl and chill in the freezer until ice crystals form. Add 1 tsp lemon juice and whip it until it's stiff. Brown SugarOne pound of brown sugar is equal to about 2 1/4 cups, firmly packed. Unsweetened ChocolateSubstitute 3T cocoa plus 3T shortening to equal 1 sq. of unsweetened chocolate. Cooking with HoneyWhen substituting honey for sugar, you should add 1/2 tsp of baking soda for every cup of honey used and bake at a temperature of 25 degrees lower than the recipe calls for. You will also need to use a little less honey than sugar. ButtermilkCooking Substitutions: Substitute for 1 cup buttermilk: 1 cup plain yogurt OR 1 cup whole milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Baking Chocolate SubstitutionSubstitute 3/4 cup cocoa (unsweetened) and 1/4 cup Crisco for 4 squares (ounces) of chocolate. Flour for Oatmeal?Many times you can use 1 1/2 cups of rolled oats to replace 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Too Much SaltLooking for cooking tips which reduce salt? Here's a great substitution: This is a question I receive frequently... Yes, if you add a raw potato to the broth and then simmer until the potato is cooked, it will take some of the salt out...mainly because it is absorbing some of the broth as well. You can also add more unsalted broth or liquid to your soup, or if it is really oversalted, you might want to double the recipe...you can always freeze the extra soup for a later date. |
