Tips for successful ingredient substitutions
Before swapping an ingredient, think about what role it plays in the recipe. Eggs can serve as a binder, leavener, or source of moisture — different substitutes work better depending on the function. Butter adds flavor, fat, and tenderness, so the best replacement depends on whether flavor or texture matters more in your dish.
Substitutions tend to work best in forgiving recipes like muffins, quick breads, and cookies. Delicate recipes like soufflés, meringues, and custards are harder to substitute in because they rely heavily on the specific properties of each ingredient.
