A one-page baking reference for when you're mid-recipe and out of something. Covers the most-needed substitutions: buttermilk (four options including yogurt and sour cream), eggs (five plant-based alternatives), brown sugar (DIY from white sugar and molasses), baking powder and baking soda conversions, and common pantry swaps for vanilla extract, cornstarch, and cream of tartar. Every substitution notes when it works best and what to expect from the result. Sourced from USDA FoodData Central, King Arthur Baking, and America's Test Kitchen. Print it at 100% scale for the inside of a cabinet door.
For best results, print at 100% scale— not “fit to page.”
