Recipe Substitutions

If you recipe calls for:

Allspice 1 teaspoon
You can use this instead:
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Arrowroot starch 1 teaspoon
1 tablespoon flour, OR 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Baking mix (1 cup)
1 cup pancake mix OR 1 cup Easy Biscuit Mixture

Baking powder 1 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar OR 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk (decrease liquid in recipe by 1/2 cup)

Baking Soda
There is no substitute for baking soda

Bread crumbs 1 cup
1 cup cracker crumbs OR 1 cup matzo meal OR 1 cup ground oats

Brown sugar 1 cup,
packed 1 cup white sugar plus 1/4 cup molasses and decrease the liquid in recipe by 1/4 cup OR 1 cup white sugar OR 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar

Cocoa 1/4 cup
1 (1-ounce) square unsweetened chocolate

Cornstarch (for thickening)
Amount: 1 tablespoon
Substitute: 2 tablespoons flour

TIP: Liquids thickened with cornstarch will be somewhat translucent while flour gives a more opaque appearance. Cornstarch will thicken a liquid almost immediately. A flour-based sauce or gravy must be cooked longer to thicken and will have a floury taste if undercooked. Joy of Cooking cookbook (Scribner, 1997) advises when using flour as a substitution for cornstarch in sauces and gravies, that you simmer it for about 3 minutes AFTER it has thickened to help avoid a raw taste of flour.

Cornstarch-thickened liquids are more likely to thin if overheated or cooked too long. Regardless of whether you use cornstarch or flour, mix it with a little cold water or other cold liquid, about two parts liquid to one part thickener, before adding it to the rest of the liquid . (Note: when you mix flour with fat to make a roux for use as a thickener, you would not dissolve it in liquid first.)

Cream of tartar 1 teaspoon 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar

If your recipe calls for "Bread Flour specifically" and you don't have any, you can use:
1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 teaspoon wheat gluten (available at health food stores & some supermarkets)

1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons

TIP 1:

According to the National Association of Margarine Manufacturers, you can tell "if the product is regular margarine by checking the Nutrition Facts: a one tablespoon serving will have 100 calories." Products that contain less than 80 percent fat often give the fat percentage on the front of the package.

If the margarine is labeled "light," "lower fat," "reduced fat," "reduced calorie/diet" or "fat-free" or is called a "vegetable oil spread," you may be less successful substituting it for butter OR for regular margarine in baking and in some cooking procedures. These products are higher in water and lower in fat content and won't perform in the same way as regular butter or margarine.

For additional information about using the various forms of margarine in recipes, check the Web site of the : National Association of Margarine Manufacturers

TIP 2:

There is no standard procedure to substitute liquid oil for solid shortening in cooking. Oil is 100 percent fat, while butter, margarine and other solid shortenings are lower in fat on a volume-for-volume basis.

Also, for some recipes, solid shortening helps incorporate air into the batter when it is whipped with other ingredients such as sugar and eggs. If you try to whip these ingredients with oil, your baked product is likely to be more compact and oily in texture. Your most successful substitution occurs if your recipe calls for MELTED butter, in which case you can usually substitute an equal amount of oil.

Salt

Omit salt or reduce salt by ½ in most recipes (except in products with yeast). Cook foods without adding salt. Don't put the salt shaker on the table.

Frozen or canned vegetables

Choose frozen vegetables without sauces or use no-salt-added canned goods. Rinsing canned vegetables will help reduce sodium.

Seasoning Salt or spice mixes with salt

Use salt-free seasonings and spice mixes. Use herbs, spices, lemon juice, or vinegar to flavor food instead of salt.

Seasonings high in sodium include catsup, chili sauce, chili powder, bouillon cubes, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and meat tenderizers.

Sugar

Reducing sugar by ¼ to 1/3 in baked goods and desserts. If recipe calls for 1 cup, use 2/3 cup.

Cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract can be added to give impression of sweetness. (Do not remove all sugar in yeast breads as sugar provides food for the yeast.)

Sugar

Replacing sugar with amounts of sucralose (*Splenda%u2122), works well for most baked products. Add ½ teaspoon baking soda in addition to each cup of Splenda%u2122 used. Baking time is usually shorter and product will have a smaller yield.

Try using aspartame (*NutraSweet%u2122), saccharin, or acesulfame potassium in other products that are not baked.

The sweet taste will vary with product combination or amounts of each sweetener used.

Fruit-flavored yogurt

Plain yogurt with fresh fruit slices or use light versions of yogurt.
Syrup Pureed fruit, such as no sugar added applesauce, or sugar-free syrup

Sugar in canned or frozen fruits

Decrease or eliminate sugar when canning or freezing fruits or buy unsweetened frozen fruit or fruit canned in its own juice, water, or light syrup.

Note: Use of brand name does not mean an endorsement of the product.
