Being here in Greenland I am not always able to find the cooking supplies like I could in America so I have to make substitutions for things.
One thing I like is an app I got from the iTunes store, before coming to Greenland, for substituting while you cook! It’s called Merillat, Kitchen Helper and it was free! It has been really nice to be able to find the substitutes whenever I can’t find what the recipe calls for. So far all the substitutes have been accurate. So just in case you were wondering, yes, there is an app for that!
Here are a few of the substitutes I’ve used…
½ tsp of cream of tartar can be substituted by using 1 ½ tsp lemon juice
1 cup light corn syrup can be made by combining the following:
7/8 cups sugar
2 Tbsp. warm water
1 cup marshmallow cream is equal to 16 large melted marshmallows
¼ cocoa can be substituted with 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate
These substitutions can be easily adjusted for your baking needs by just doing to a little math. UNLESS you have the app, then it will do it for you! J
These are just a few that they offer and there are more contained within this super easy to use app. Or you can go to their website to download it: www.merillat.com/kitchen-helper
