    Sweet Substitution for :

    Brown Sugar
    1 cup sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon of molasses, add a little more to taste.

    Confectioners Sugar
    For 1 cup powdered sugar substitute 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cornstarch blended in a blender

    Corn Syrup
    1 cup of sugar and ¼ cup of water

    Substitutions for Dairy Products

    Buttermilk
    1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar stirred into 1 cup of milk. Let stand for 5 minutes.

    Half & Half
    Put 1 tablespoon melted butter in measure and add enough whole milk to make 1 cup

    Heavy Cream
    You won't be able to whip this but to substitute heavy cream in cooking and baking use ⅓ c butter and ¾ cup of milk for one cup of heavy cream

    Sweetened Condensed Milk
    Combine a cup of evaporated milk, half and half, or cream, with 1 ¼ cups of sugar. Heat, stirring, in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved.

    Fat Content of Dairy Products

    Half & Half is half milk and half cream with a fat content of 10% to 18%.

    Table Cream has a butterfat content of 18% to 30%.

    Light Whipping Cream has a fat content of 30% to 36%

    Heavy Whipping Cream must have a fat content of at least 36%.

    Double Whipping Cream
     is hard to find but has a butterfat content of over 42%. The higher the fat content the easier the cream whips.

    Fat Free: nonfat or skim milk has 0.5%
