Can I substitute regular milk for vanilla soy milk in this recipe?!


Question: We have no regular, low fat soy milk that we usually use to substitute milk in our recipes, but we do have vanilla soy milk. Would that work in this recipe?

Gingerbread Waffle

1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup molasses
3 eggs, separated
1/3 melted butter or margarine
1 cup sour milk or buttermilk

1)Mix and sit dry ingredients. Beat egg yolks
2) Combine molasses, sour milk, egg yolks and melted shortening
3)Combine liquid and dry ingredients
4)pour onto heated waffle Iron

Thanks for your opinions!

Might change the flavor some (vanilla and cinnamon flavors/aroma might not blend well together) but it should work... If it doesn't then at least you know..It's all about what taste you prefer really
and if it turns out better than what you used to make, then you have a nice new recipe..

YES it will be great. The added Vanilla will make it richer. Sounds lovely.

Absolutely it will work. As you know, vanilla soy is sweeter and has vanilla extract so it works for things like waffles and pancakes, cakes, puddings; etc. I wouldn't recommend using it in something like macaroni and cheese, but on this recipe...go for it...now you've made me hungry.

I think the vanilla soy milk might be good in this recipe.

Try it and let us know... Enjoy!

(how do you "sour" soy milk? is it the same as regular milk, just add a teaspoon of vinegar or lemon juice?)

if you have it: - try almond milk, it is very rich and lovely.

no one ever remembers Almond milk!

Instead if vanilla I would use plain, since the vanilla might alter the flavor a little bit.

It might. You "sour" soy milk by adding 1 tbsp lemon juice per cup of soy milk. As someone else pointed out, vanilla soymilk won't work in a savory recipe, but in a waffle or baked good recipe, it should be fine.

I ama former chef and it is fine, the idea of souring with lemon juice is not a good idea, trust me I have been a vegetarian for the last 5 years, after 20 yrs as a classically trained chef in Canada and Internationally, I am now eating a veggie diet as I am diabetic and have other medical issues.

The only thing about soya milk is cannot be boiled, warmed, but is not a problem cold dishes or as a liquid in other baked goods, it will not be as soft, but for waffles you like a bit of crispness.
