Recipe: Shortbread

Shortbread

This recipe comes from my friend Vix whose granny was scottish. Obviously its been changed to have Vitalite instead of butter! It's a great one to make with your kid because its basically adding all the ingredients together and mashing it with your hands!

Ingredients:

250mg Vitalite
125mg Sugar
250mg Plain Flour
125mg Cornflour



You can adjust these amounts keeping the ratios the same as you want to make more or less.

1. Rub the butter and flour together to make it like breadcrumbs
2. Add the sugar and cornflour and rub/mash together to make a dough
3. Press the dough into a baking tray to about an inch thick, it doesn't need to be buttered, there's enough in the mixture!
4. Bake for about 30-40 mins. It should be golden on top.
5. Sprinkle with caster sugar as it comes out.
6. Leave to cool completely then cut out of tin.


Always remember to check the labels of all the ingredients listed, they are liable to change and add things in whenever they want!!

What we're about....

Hi! My name is Layth and I have a 2 year old who has an intolerance to Dairy, Egg and Soya. At first we we're like "what the hell are we gonna feed him!?" But since those dark wandering days we've realised there's actually quite a lot! On this blog i'm hoping to chronicle the things we've eaten that are different or unusual -  a twist on something that you might otherwise think he couldn't have.  We're also a big fan of baking in our house so i've posted the various bakes we've done, with recipes and some with pictures; hopefully i'll have a large repository of recipes for people to search! We're also massive fans of eating out, especially cafes, so we've catalogued the places we've eaten that we thought was good or had options that my little one could eat! So far they're all places in Bristol.... If you've got any suggestions for recipes or places to eat yourself please email me! CMPADaddy@icloud.com :...

Costa Coconut Milk Warning

Costa Coconut Milk Warning So, this is really really annoying! Costa have started doing COCONUT MILK as a dairy alternative! Yay!! No yay.... The coconut milk they're using also has SOYA in it. If your child is like mine and also has a SOYA intolerance because it often cross reacts with the milk protein, then be warned! What's even more annoying is that there are coconut milks that DON'T have soya in it. You can see for yourselves....  https://www.costa.co.uk/nutrition/Costa-ANI-data-January-2018.pdf I may write a strongly worded letter...
