Baking Substitutes
Ever run out of an ingredient when you're making cookies, cake, etc? I found a few ways around it, without having to visit the grocery store.
- Cake Flour: Put 2 tablespoons Cornstarch into a 1 cup measuring cup; fill with Flour and sift together. Mixture equals 1 cup Cake Flour.
- An empty squeeze bottle from mustard is good for filling with icing to decorate cakes.
- Powdered Sugar: combine 1 cup Granulated Sugar and 2-3 tablespoons Cornstarch; place in blender for 45 seconds.
- Brown Sugar: combine 1 cup Granulated Sugar and 1-2 tablespoons Molasses; mix well.
- Buttermilk: Place 1 tablespoon White Vinegar in 1 cup measuring cup. Fill to 1 cup line with Cold Milk. Stir and let stand a few minutes and it will get to the consistency of buttermilk. Mixture equals 1 cup Buttermilk.
