Many organized incorporated territories of the United States existed from 1789 to 1959 (the first being the Northwest and the Southwest territories, the last being the Alaska Territory and the Hawaii Territory), through which 31 territories applied for and were granted statehood.
Considerations When Choosing an Extract Substitution. If you only need 1/4 teaspoon of extract, you can substitute just 2 drops of a similar flavored oil instead of the extract. Many extracts substitute well for each other, like almond extract instead of vanilla extract or lemon extract instead of lime extract.
Baking Powder Substitutions. 1  Mix Â¼ teaspoon baking soda with Â½ teaspoon tartar cream. 2  Mix Â½ teaspoon baking soda with Â½ cup buttermilk, sour milk or plain yogurt. 3  Mix Â¼ teaspoon baking soda with 1/3 cup of molasses. 4  Lemon juice can be used as a substitute for some of the liquids in certain recipes that use baking soda. The juice provides the essential acidity that triggers the baking soda to act. Where substitutions include liquid, it is best to reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by 2 to 3 tablespoons.
