Don't have it? Substitute!

Don't have that ingredient?  Just substitute!
Here are some common ones:

• 1 cup buttermilk = 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar + 1 cup milk
• 1 cup honey = 1/3 cup water + 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup corn syrup = 1 cup sugar + 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup sour cream = 1 cup plain Green yogurt
• 1 cup heavy cream = 1/3 cup melted butter + 3/4 cup milk  (Don't try to whip this!)
• 1 cup butter = 1 cup applesauce  (I learned this trick from a dietician!  It works in baked goods.)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla = 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 egg = 1/2 banana or 1/4 cup apple sauce
• 1 cup cake flour = 1 cup regular flour minus 2 tablespoons + 2 tablespoons cornstarch (whisk)
• 1 cup self-rising flour = 2 cups all-purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder & 1/2 teaspoon salt (whisk)
