baking question

When a recipe calls for milk, can soy milk be substituted?

Re: baking question

  • I googled your question and I think there's a split verdict.  Is the soy milk sweetened?  Depending on what your cooking, whether it's sweetened or not will dictate your answer.
  • what are you making?  I've had mixed results with almond breeze.  If it's just a little milk in say, a bread or pancake recipe, sure no problem.  Homemade pudding-really bad!  It never thickened!
  • ive substitued the silk milk becaues its thicker than some other soy milks fine. other than that, i use lactaid milk and the smart balance lactose free milk cup for cup in recipes with no problems whatsoever.

  • I tend to use lactaid when baking. Soy gets iffy. I've played around with it a little bit and if the recipe needs to thicken like mousse or pudding or something then I will use silken tofu instead of soy milk. If it's a cake or cupcakes I've used silk ok in the past. I've never tried any of the other brands.
