hey y'all it's me Paula and you know I I
0:04
promised that I was gonna be doing some
0:06
recipes for YouTube and but you know
0:11
today I decided not to do a specific
0:14
recipe Teresa's here from a corporate
0:18
office Teresa and I have been together
0:21
for 17 years have we not killed each
0:27
other
0:28
of course Eddie is lives here with
0:32
Michael and me he's Manning the camera
0:34
but I was thinking the other day y'all
0:38
you know I grow our trips to the grocery
0:41
store are so much more limited now with
0:45
all this coronavirus going on
0:48
I know myself I'm trying not to leave
0:52
this property end up being pretty
0:54
successful at it
0:56
and not letting anybody in here that I'm
1:00
got any questions about or unsure about
1:03
so I thought you know now would be a
1:07
great time for us to talk about
1:10
substitutions because you may be in the
1:13
middle of a recipe and find out what
1:16
panic yeah and I don't have that so what
1:20
I want to talk with y'all today is the
1:24
most common substitutes so I'm just
1:27
gonna read them off to y'all the ones
1:30
that I have found over my years of being
1:33
in the kitchen have been very beneficial
1:34
for me and the first one is baking
1:39
powder and I'm amazed at how people are
1:44
confused about plain flour versus
1:47
self-rising flour a lot of a lot of
1:51
people don't know about especially the
1:53
new cooks coming into the kitchen so if
1:56
you need some baking powder you would
1:59
use 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda
2:05
and a half a teaspoon of cream of tartar
2:08
so that's 1/4 of teaspoon of baking soda
2:11
and 1/2 a teaspoon of cream of tartar
2:14
and that will work as your baking powder
2:18
all right if you need lemon juice and
2:20
you don't have any lemons a half a
2:23
teaspoon of vinegar will work well if
2:27
you have a recipe calling for one ounce
2:30
of unsweetened chocolate you can use
2:33
four tablespoons of cocoa plus one
2:36
tablespoon of butter and if you need
2:40
cocoa you can just substitute for 1
2:44
ounce square of unsweetened chocolate
2:46
and if you need cream of tartar I know
2:51
we don't need that very often unless
2:54
we're making meringues or something like
2:57
that but that would be something that
3:01
you might not have come forward I would
3:06
tell someone to have that in their
3:08
kitchen and so doesn't last for a long
3:10
time yes and you can and then you have
3:12
it there and yes something happens that
3:14
we go absolutely and if you recipe calls
3:18
for it and you don't have it you can use
3:20
2 teaspoons of lemon juice ok let's talk
3:24
about cake flour if your recipe calls
3:28
for cake flour and you don't have any
3:31
you can use 1 cup of all-purpose flour -
3:36
2 tablespoons what is the difference
3:41
between cake flour and just you know
3:44
whether they ask for all-purpose or
3:46
self-rising is there a lighter because
3:49
your yeah I think it's probably lighter
4:01
so would you do you lose your Diner use
4:05
cake flour in your recipe very seldom
4:08
okay very seldom if it costs the cake
4:10
flour that's this is yeah that's what I
4:14
do so you know because I always have
4:18
plenty of plain flour and plenty of
4:20
self-rising flour so yeah what I want
4:27
one more different type of flour love
4:29
this cake flour have any baking powder
4:33
already included in it do you think I
4:35
would I would say not I would say not
4:39
since your substitute for cake flour
4:42
would be a cup of all-purpose flour - 2
4:46
tbsp I think it was a good marketing
4:48
brand to get you to buy another type of
4:50
yes you know I kind of think so - Teresa
4:54
all right let's see if your s because
5:01
unsalted butter personally I use nothing
5:05
but salted butter because that's what I
5:08
like I like that sweet and savory in my
5:17
bacon and my pound cake is my cookies so
5:20
I want money to have that little bit of
5:22
salt but if you specifically need that
5:25
unsalted butter you can substitute with
5:28
1 cup of shortening alright like I said
5:31
these are just a few of the things that
5:33
I'm thinking that y'all might need to
5:36
substitute sweetened condensed milk well
5:41
you can make your own you would use 3/4
5:44
a cup of white sugar mixed with a half a
5:47
cup of water and one in the 8 cups of
5:51
dry powdered milk and you just bring
5:54
that to a ball and cook stirring it
5:56
frequently until it's thickened about 20
5:58
minutes so I'm gonna go over that again
6:01
3/4 a cup of white sugar mixed with a
6:04
half a cup of water and one in an 8 cups
6:08
of
6:08
powdered milk is a good change might not
6:12
have dropped powdered milk but I keep
6:14
that here believe believe that or not
6:16
and you bring it to ball stirring
6:19
frequently until it's thickened about 20
6:22
minutes all right if you are are trying
6:25
to bake the cake and it comes per
6:27
vegetable arm and you find you don't
6:29
have any you can add one cup of
6:32
applesauce in the place of the one cup
6:36
of vegetable all let me see let me see
6:42
what else vinegar a teaspoon of lemon
6:47
juice or two teaspoons of white wine oh
6:50
and let's talk about one for white wine
6:55
you would substitute chicken broth and
6:59
if your recipe calls for red wine you
7:03
would use a beef bouillon you know
7:10
chicken broth beef broth so red wine of
7:14
beef broth white wine a chicken broth so
7:17
that's kind of pretty easy to to
7:20
remember all right yogurt
7:22
I don't always keep yogurt on hanging so
7:24
I can take 1 cup of sour cream or 1 cup
7:28
of buttermilk or 1 cup of sour milk for
7:32
that yogurt all right brown sugar
7:36
gosh that's an easy one to run that off
7:39
so you would take you could make your
7:42
own brown sugar by using 1 cup of white
7:45
sugar plus 1/4 of a cup of molasses and
7:49
then you would decrease the liquid in
7:52
the recipe by fourth of a cup or 1 cup
7:56
of white sugar or one and a quarter cups
8:00
of confectioner's sugar so that's pretty
8:04
good I I liked the idea of making my own
8:06
brown sugar sour cream you can
8:10
substitute with 1 cup of plain yogurt or
8:14
3/4 of a cup of buttermilk mixed with a
8:18
third of a cup
8:21
that sounds pretty good and then it
8:24
sounds like you've got buttermilk soy
8:28
sauce 1/4 of a cup of Worcestershire
8:32
sauce mixed with 1 tablespoon of water
8:35
how about that all right let's see I
8:40
just want to make sure that buttermilk
8:45
did I get a cup of milk a cup of regular
8:51
milk with a teaspoon or two of vinegar
8:56
and you let its sound work and then we
8:59
usually take about five minutes and
9:01
after the after it's it's thickened it
9:06
looks like buttermilk got the clumps in
9:08
it all right let's see I think I think
9:12
that's kind of takes care of the main
9:15
things and I hope that will help y'all
9:18
because now is a great time to get in
9:23
the kitchen and try out some of those
9:24
recipes that you've been wanting to try
9:27
