It can happen to the best and most prepared of us; when you're in the midst of cooking only to realize you've run out of an essential ingredient. What a pain! You don't have the time nor the energy to head to the store so what do you do? Give up or find a path and improvise?
Here are a few quick replacements for those staple ingredients.
For 1c all-purpose flour you can substitute 1c + 2tbsp cake flour
For baking powder you can substitute baking soda + cream of tartar
For 1c milk you can substitute 1/2c evaporated milk + 1/2c water
For 2 whole eggs you can substitute 2 whites or 1/4c egg substitute
For lemon juice you can do an even exchange of vinegar
For 1c cream you can substitute 3tbsps butter + 7/8c milk
For 1c honey you can substitute 1 1/4c sugar + 1/3c water
For 1c oil you can substitute 1c melted butter
For 1c sour cream you can substitute 1c plain butter
For vanilla extract you can substitute an even exchange of maple syrup
So, not to worry...keep on cooking!
Cheers!
