dairy free

[crisgal]

does anyone have a recipe for dairy free cakes, biscuits or pastry please?

We have a child at our pre-school who cannot have milk or eggs and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find things to do on cooking day.

i don't want her to always make something different to the other children, i feel they should make what she can eat.

Baking is not my strong point - for example, if we were making a scone mix, can i just substitute the marge for dairy free marge, and would do you substitute eggs with?

I have looked on t'internet but so far have not found anything really. thanks in advance!

Hallo crisgal, not my idea of a good time, but I found this site here with some egg/dairy-free recipes.
Vegan Baking also offers some more theoretical insights into replacing eggs and dairy products.
Here's a scone recipe that does without eggs altogether.
Try googling for "vegan baking" and "vegan cakes" for more hits.

those threads were really helpful, Xollob, thank you.

I don't eat dairy or eggs but use soya milk instead. in Holland and Barrett's there is an egg replacement powder which you can use in baking, my yourkshire pudding didn't work though so haven't tried it in cakes yet :S

Hallo crisgal, glad I could help.
Just had another thought: I've never baked cakes with it, but for pastry - both sweet and savoury - the finest shortening agent is good old-fashioned lard. You probably won't get this approved by the Nutrition Police, and I can imagine the tabloids would have a field day if they caught you at it, but it is egg and dairy free!

I've tried the egg replacer powder in cakes and it didn't work very well either.  It could have been something I did wrong though!

Don't know if you have heard of it but there is a magazine called allergy, tesco sells it. They have some very good tips and websites which might be of use. In there march issue it has a readers tip for making a egg free sponge cake, all you would have to do is change the butter for a diary free one.
