Sticky: About Vinegar

[Madhuram]

1 teaspoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of vinegar (for each egg) works well in cakes, cupcakes and quick breads.  Any variety of vinegar like white distilled vinegar, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar can be used, but I personally feel that apple cider vinegar does not leave any after taste/smell.

If you don't have vinegar you could substitute 2 tablespoons of lime/lemon juice for 1 tablespoon of vinegar.

Check here for recipes using vinegar/lemon juice as egg substitute in baking recipes.

If a recipe calls for white vinegar/apple cider vinegar, can it be substituted with apple sauce?
If vinegar is not readily available can buttermilk/yogurt can be substituted in its place?

Sarika, vinegar cannot be substitute with applesauce.  Lemon juice can be substituted instead but I have not tested it yet.

Chinese rice vinegars are stronger than Japanese ones, and range in colour from clear to various shades of red and brown. Chinese and especially Japanese vinegars are very mild and sweet compared to distilled and more acidic Western vinegars which, for that reason, are not appropriate substitutes for rice vinegars.
