Receta Cooking and Baking Substitutions

Image Courtesy of freedigitalphotos.net/by JohnWhat do you do when the recipe for your mother's buttermilk pancakes actually requires buttermilk and you don't have any on hand?

Or when you have to make that german chocolate cake and you forgot to purchase the cake flour.

How about when a recipe calls for 1 cup of chopped fresh herbs and all you have on hand are dried herbs?

These are all things that have happened to me, by the way. I guess you can say that I have learned a few tricks of the trade for 'getting by' in the kitchen without having to run to the grocery store at the last minute.

Below is a 'cheat sheet' of sorts to help you with substituting certain ingredients in a recipe. You can thank me later ;)

Make Your Own Buttermilk:

Mix 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar with enough milk to make 1 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes before use.

Make Your Own Cake Flour From All Purpose Flour:

Measure out the amount of All Purpose Flour you will need and place in a bowl. For every cup of flour you will use, take out two tablespoons and return it back to the flour bin or bag. Replace two tablespoons of the flour you removed with two tablespoons of cornstarch. Sift the flour and cornstarch together, about 5 or 6 times, until the flour is super soft and airy. Proceed with recipe as instructed.
