Michelle Darmody: Three delicious baking recipes with a surprising vinegar twist

Did you know vinegar can be used in many ways when baking, even acting as a substitute for eggs and buttermilk

Three recipes that use vinegar

Vinegar can be a surprisingly useful ingredient in baking. It reacts with bread soda to add air to cakes, as well as adding a bit of umph to a meringue. I often use it when I need buttermilk in a recipe and have forgotten to buy some. A spoon or two of vinegar added to regular milk will turn it sour and create a similar consistency and taste to buttermilk.
