Entertaining The Ultimate Guide to Thanksgiving by Kristin Donnelly The best way to cook a stress-free dinner is to think ahead, which is why we've created this comprehensive Trending Discussions.

Lard works well, and butter gives your biscuits a really nice flavor. If you're vegan or baking for a vegan, you can even use coconut oil. Baking powder isn't much more complicated to replace. If you don't have baking powder but do have baking soda, you're off to the races. Baking soda is an alkaline ingredient, and if you combine it with an acidic ingredient, it reacts to form carbon dioxide and raise your biscuits. Baking powder is nothing more or less than soda with its own acid in dry form.
In baking soda biscuits, you provide the acid separately, usually in the form of buttermilk or regular milk with a bit of vinegar or lemon juice added. A lot of recipes call for both baking powder and soda, so you'll need to improvise a little if you want to make baking soda biscuits with no baking powder at all. It requires a bit of simple math. You'll also need to increase the acidic ingredients in the recipe, so you might find it easier to choose a recipe that's meant for baking soda rather than doing the conversion.
If you don't have an issue with baking powder as such but want to minimize the number of ingredients you keep in your pantry, consider using self-rising flour to make your biscuits. It has the baking powder and a bit of salt already mixed in, so you just need to add the fat and liquid of your choice.
In practice, that usually means self-rising flour, your lard or butter and either milk or buttermilk. It happens. You get ready to make your mouth-watering biscuits and you realize you used up all your baking powder and forgot to replace it. Before you put all your other ingredients away, there are substitutions you can use instead of baking powder. This is just for one teaspoon of baking powder so adjust the measurements if your recipe calls for more than a teaspoon. While this is one of the best substitutions for baking powder, do not look for it in cream form.
You can find cream of tartar in the spice aisle and it is a powder. It is probably best known for making the best meringue when making a lemon meringue pie. Using yogurt to replace baking powder when making biscuits takes only a few short steps. First make sure it is regular plain yogurt, not Greek or flavored. Put all of your dry ingredients in a bowl separately and include one teaspoon of baking soda. Add in the rest of your ingredients and you will see the same reaction that the baking soda creates when it mixes with the dairy items as you get when you use baking powder.
If you have buttermilk in your fridge you can use it exactly the same way you substitute using yogurt. Measure out one cup of milk in a pitcher and add one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for five minutes.
