This is a post I did 2 years ago and it's one of the most important ones i've done so far. That is why I am reposting it. :)
When it comes to different recipes, there might come a time where you don't want to use a cirtain ingredient because you don't have it in your pantry. I have a solution for that. There are lots of ingredients that can be substituted. For instence:
1 cup buttermilk = 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp Lemon juice or Vinagar (I prefer lemon juice)
1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening) = 2 tbsp flour
1 square chocolate = 3 tbsp cocoa + 1/2 tsp shortening (to me it dosn't matter if you use butter or margarine instead)
1 cup honey = 3/4 cup sugar + 1/4 cup liquid
cake flour = 4 cups flour plus 1 cup sifted cornstarch. Sift at least 4 times until very light. This is as good as any on the market.
These substitutions are very effective when you are baking. A couple of other improvements that i would like to add is when making breads, muffins, and cakes, the recipe usually asks you to use oil but i use butter or margarine because it makes it more creamy and light. Those are all the tips i can think of today. Talk to you soon.
Enjoy :D
