Love
baking? Don’t let coronavirus social-distancing let you down. You
can bake with ingredients and tools right from your pantry, you don’t
even have to make a trip to the grocery store. Here are some of the
best baking substitutions you’ll need.
Egg
If
you’ve run out of egg, or are looking for a vegan substitute for
egg, here are a few options:
1
egg = 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed + 3 tablespoons of water (let
the mixture sit for 10 mins before you use it) / half medium-sized
banana / 4 tablespoons of applesauce
Buttermilk
If
your recipe requires buttermilk and you don’t have it in your
pantry, here are a few options you can try:
1
cup buttermilk = 1 cup skimmed milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice / 1
cup skimmed milk + 1 tablespoon vinegar / 3 quarters cup of yogurt +1
quarter cup of skimmed milk.
If
you’ve run out of milk, use diluted sour cream.
Baking
powder
Baking
powder is a very common ingredient people often run out of. Here are
a few substitutions just in case:
1
teaspoon baking powder = Half teaspoon of cream of tartar + 1
quarters teaspoon of baking soda / half teaspoon of vinegar (or lemon
juice) + 1 quarters teaspoon of baking soda.
Baking
soda
Baking
soda is an essential ingredient. And if you do not have baking soda
at home, chances are you would not have the substitutes as well. To
substitute 1 teaspoon of baking soda, combine 1 teaspoon of potassium
bicarbonate (soda water) with one-third teaspoon of salt.
Self-raising
flour
Making
self-raising flour is so simple that we would suggest don’t even
buy it from the store. All you need to do is take all-purpose flour
(1 cup) and mix in two tablespoons of baking powder. Sift it and use
it instantly.
All-purpose
flour
If
you are looking for more fibrous, healthier or gluten-free
substitutes for all-purpose flour, here are a few options:
1
cup all-purpose flour = 3 quarters rice flour + two and a half
teaspoons of baking powder
You
can replace the rice flour with oat flour, coconut flour, quinoa
flour, chickpea flour or almond flour.
