BAKING WITH YOGHURT
You can experiment using yoghurt as a healthy substitute when baking. Low-fat yoghurt
(made with semi skimmed or skimmed milk) can be used to reduce or replace shortening,
oil, butter or sour cream. It adds a creamy texture to your recipes.
When a recipe calls for butter, replace ½ the butter with half as much yoghurt.
For instance, instead of 1 cup of butter, use ½ cup of butter and ¼ cup of yoghurt.
Substitute yoghurt cup for cup for sour cream in recipes.
Yoghurt can even replace some of the water or milk in a recipe. Start by substituting
¼ of the liquid with yoghurt. The result will be creamier.
