There is nothing more frustrating than having your heart set on baking or cooking something delicious, only to discover you are out of one (or more) of the ingredients! Or there\u2019s the even worse scenario, where you return from the grocery store without the main thing you went there for in the first place! (I might have done that a time or two\u2026 or dozens of times, but who\u2019s counting?) But fret no more,\u00a0 I\u2019ve compiled a list of ingredient substitutions that can save the day in an ingredient emergency!<\/span><\/p>\n

Substituting one ingredient for another should only be done when you don\u2019t have the necessary ingredient on hand in your kitchen. Substitutions can change the flavor and outcome of the finished baked goods.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The following chart gives substitutions that may be used to achieve a product similar to the original when cooking. Find out what to substitute when you\u2019re out of an ingredient \u2013 but also remember the following when substituting:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When substituting ingredients, take into account the differences in taste, moisture content, texture and weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

When substituting for sugar and flour, consider the differences in sweetening and thickening power.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understand the physical and chemical properties of all ingredients.<\/span><\/p>\n

Measuring accurately will help avoid disappointment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient Substitutions<\/span><\/p>\n

Use substitutions in emergency situations, and keep in mind they may not perform like the original ingredient<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
