Baking Powder: Reduce each teaspoon by 1/4-1/2.
Baking Soda: Decrease as baking powder. No adjustments needed with acidic (fruit juice, ex.) ingredients.
Sugar: Decrease each cup by 2-3 tablespoons.
Oven Temp: Increase 25 degrees F, decrease by 25 F. for glass dish.
Fats: No adjustment unless substituting, then 1 cup shortening = 3/4 cup butter or oil.
Cookies: No adjustments needed.
Rice, Veggies, Soups: Increase 25% per cup water, cook longer (Boiling point is lower at high altitude and water evaporates faster.)
Yeast Breads: Best of luck to you.
