Within the past few months, we found out my youngest daughter has an extreme sensitivity to corn. We found out she can't do gluten and strawberries too, but corn affects her in a huge way.
When trying to cook without using corn, you find out how much of our food has corn in it. Baking powder, powdered sugar, yogurt, candy, and many others. If you can't cook with baking powder, what do you do? My husband found a website that helped us with this problem. It will definitely help our family and I hope it helps yours too.
Baking Powder Substitutions
Featherweight Baking Powder (Made with Potato Starch)
1 Tsp. Baking Powder = 1/2 Tsp. Cream of Tartar + 1/4 Tsp. Baking Soda
Powdered Sugar Substitutions
1 Tbs. Potato Starch + 1 Cup Sugar. Run through a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender until it's not grainy.
Corn Syrup Substitutions
1 Cup Corn Syrup = 1 Cup Sugar + 1/4 Water
