Hi all -
Vincent - Thank you for stopping by my site. I would be delighted to add it to Petitchef!
Lenore - Blue and yellow never fail to calm and cheer at the same time :-)
Iris - Hail the humble lemon! So healthy when alone and yet so decadent when in good company ;-D
Thanks for another great recipe! I made this egg+dairy free too as my daughter is allergic to egg+gluten, and I developed a dairy intolerance while pregnant with number 2 (so now avoid EVERYTHING!). So I swapped the eggs for 2tsp egg replacer + 4 tbsp water, and the butter + yoghurt for soy marg + soy yoghurt and it tastes great. I'm now making a massive batch to freeze in chunks for my daughter to take in her packed lunch to school. Thanks for these recipes - please keep them coming! ;-)
Hi Bethan -
You're so welcome! Glad to hear the recipe worked out well for you :)
