<\/a><\/p>\nSimple Baking Substitutes<\/h3>\nBaking Powder<\/h4>\n
It\u2019s pretty simple to make your own baking powder. For the equivalent of one teaspoon, mix together \u00bc teaspoon baking soda and \u00bd teaspoon cream of tartar or decrease the liquid in the recipe by half and add \u00bc teaspoon baking soda plus \u00bd cup buttermilk.<\/p>\n
Buttermilk<\/h4>\n
Simply make your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to about 500 ml of milk and let it stand to curdle naturally.<\/p>\n
Corn Syrup<\/h4>\n
A common ingredient in American recipes, and something that we don\u2019t really get in South Africa \u2013 but if needed, you can replace corn syrup with honey or regular golden syrup.<\/p>\n
Eggs<\/h4>\n
Simply sub in \u00bc cup of unsweetened applesauce for every egg in your recipe; \u00bc cup of mashed banana will work perfectly too. Mind you, these substitutes work in loaves, muffins, etc., but wouldn’t work in your pavlova! Certain recipes will also work with a ‘flax egg’ substitute \u2013 one tablespoon of ground flaxseed powder with three tablespoons of water should give you a rough egg replacement, but this depends on the recipe. Let it firm up in the fridge for a few minutes before using.<\/p>\n
Milk<\/h4>\n
If you’re out of milk, replace it with a ratio of 1 cup of water and 1\u00bd teaspoons of butter.<\/p>\n
Self-raising Flour<\/h4>\n
For every 150 g of plain flour, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder \u2013 now you have your own self-raising flour.<\/p>\n
Sour Cream<\/h4>\n
You can pretty much use any cultured dairy item, so yoghurt, cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche or even buttermilk could work in place of sour cream when baking.<\/p>\n
Vegetable Oil<\/h4>\n
If you want to make a recipe on the lighter side, you can opt to replace 1 cup vegetable oil with 1 cup applesauce or apple pur\u00e9e. This works well in recipes such as muffins.<\/p>\n
