Substitutions

Some other information passed on to me ... they have been very helpful!

Allspice: mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and small amount of cloves

Cocoa: use Colacao, use 1/4 cup less of sugar and double the amount given of chocolate. Chocolate Valor, if easily found, is the best option for cocoa. No sugar added.

Buttermilk: use the same amount of natural yogurt

Graham crackers crust: use Maria cookies

Sour Milk: 1 cup of milk + 1 T vinegar

Molasses: same amount of honey

Sour Cream: same amount of yogurt, Yogur Griego is the best for this!

Yeast, dry: buy "levadura de pan" at local bakery (25 grs = 1 pkg American dry yeast)

Velveeta Cheese: El Caserio (there are other brands) queso fundido. It has the same texture but it is recommendable to add a little of grated mild manchego for more flavor.

Shortening: use real butter, better for you than lard and it turns out well, including Bisquick

Do you want to add to this list? Keep the information coming and I will update this entry!!
