3. High Sugar
In food with high amount of sugar; such as candies, jams etc, sugar gives not only the sweetness but also the body and viscousity.
D-et should be replaced around 25% of the sugar required. For example,
4 cups of sugar = 3 cups of sugar + 1/8 cup (24 sachets) of D-et
4. High Rise
The recipes calling for baking soda; such as sponge cake, may give smaller rise when substitute the sugar with D-et.
You may add extra 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1/2 of milk powder for every cup of sugar required.
1 cup of sugar = 1/8 cup of D-et + 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda + 1/2 cup of milk powder
5. Yeast
D-et does not activate yeasts.
In the recipes where sugar is needed to work with yeast; such as bread, rolls, buns, etc,
Please give at least 2 teaspoons of sugar when the yeast is added.
6. Browning
D-et may not brown the same way sugar does.
Browning effect may be added on the skin of baked food by applying some butter or oil on the dough before baking.
7. Texture
In baked food; such as cakes, pies, cookies; sugar contributes to sweetness and texture.
Substituting sugar with D-et may give drier and flakier texture.
These menus need quite a lot of adjustment to make up the texture desired.
For example, if the ingredients include eggs and butter, you may be needed to add more eggs and butter.
If you would not like to adjust much on your recipes, please consider replace only part of sugar. (See No. 3 High Sugar)
