Coral Lee from Food 52 recently published an article that could be useful to anyone out there who seeks substitutes for baking powder. I wanted to share this with you, as I found it very insightful while researching the topic.

Here is my summary of her article:

Baking powder and baking soda are not substitutes for each other; however, there are 6 pantry staples – homemade baking powder, vinegar or lemon juice, self-rising flour, plain yogurt, buttermilk and molasses – that can be used to replace baking powder.

Making homemade baking powder with baking soda, cream of tartar and cornstarch is the simplest option.

When using acidic liquids and dairy, the recipe liquids should be reduced to maintain desired consistency.

Key takeaways:

1) Baking powder and baking soda are not interchangeable.

2) Substitutes for baking powder include homemade baking powder, vinegar or lemon juice, self-rising flour, plain yogurt, buttermilk and molasses.

3) When using acidic liquids and dairy, recipe liquids should be reduced to maintain desired consistency.

I hope you found it as useful as I did! Here is a link to her full article.
