Does dairy give you a tummy ache? Can’t tolerate eggs? There’s no need to give up muffins, cakes and breads. Common baking in- gredients like flour, sugar, eggs and dairy have widely available substitutions. When used correctly, their additions make traditional baked goods safe for those with sensitive stomachs without sacrificing flavor. Susan Sweet,owner of Susan Sweet’s Gluten & Sugar Free Bakery in Shoshone, uses sugar and wheat flour substitutes for her cupcakes and other baked goods. Her go-to cookbook, “The Joy of Cooking” by Irma S. Rombauer and Marion Rombauer Becker, has been the in- spiration for many of her converted recipes, she said. And using alternative ingredients doesn’t mean your baked goods will be inferior. Illustration by “I’ve made some waffles that my husband said are JOSH AWTRY/Times-News better than any waffle he’s ever tasted,”Sweet said. So even if you don’t have dietary restrictions, give these alternative ingredients a try.
Reporter Melissa Davlin may be reached at 735-3234 or [email protected]. Can’t have ... Eggs? You have plenty of options.For each egg,use 1/4 cup of apple- sauce, mashed banana or canned pumpkin in sweet baked goods. If the recipe calls for more than one egg, you’ll probably be able to taste the fruit,so keep that in mind while picking your weapon of choice. For eggy dishes like quiche, firm tofu is a great bet. Find recipes online or in vegan cookbooks.Recipes vary,but as a gen- eral rule, use one pound of firm tofu, patted dry, in place of the eggs for a single-dish quiche.

Almond milk, rice milk, hemp milk and coconut milk are all great choices, and each comes in multiple flavors from several brands. For baking, stick with unsweetened varieties.You might have to play with the amount of milk you add to baked goods — some substitutes have differ- ent consistencies than dairy milk, said Lil Morgan, a home cook whose husband has food intolerances. Play around with it until the dough looks right. Need buttermilk for a recipe? Take a cup of your dairy-free milk of choice and add a teaspoon of vinegar. Stir and let sit for five minutes,Morgan said. If your recipe requires other kinds of dairy — like sour cream Pat Corle said her gluten-free flour blend, made of tapioca starch, for a rich chocolate cake,cheese for a pizza or cream cheese for a cheesecake — there are plenty of dairy-free substitutes at Fred brown rice flour, white rice flour and potato starch, can replace wheat Meyer in Twin Falls and at some local health-food stores.
