Classic roosting bars

[Willow]

A friend is coming around for afternoon tea on Saturday. her eldest (my Godson) is allergic to eggs, dairy, nuts and fish.

 

Now the fish allergy is not so bad although as my OH pointed out we won't be having smoke salmon sandwiches then

 

But baking

 

I'll thought I'd try a dairy substitute for butter in flapjacks and data bar recipes - I use stork in some Mary Berry recipes and that say's it's just veg oils so that should be ok.

 

Egg-free is more of a problem

 

Has anyone any suggested recipes ?

How about doing some tea breads? Hot cross buns? Banana bread? Malt loaf? Scones (where he can choose not to put cream on and load up on the jam instead)? Crumpets? Muffins (the savoury ones)?

How about googling for vegan recipes or tips on how to 'veganise' an existing recipe. Here's one for cupcakes that a friend of mine did on her blog.

 

Good luck with it

It's brilliant

 

After googling vegan bakes I made:

scones, flapjacks, lemon cake, sultana spice cake and sausage rolls - yes my youngest was bemused by me making vegan pastry to make sausage rolls with Waitrose iced finger buns, ham sandwiches made using dairy free spread and little sausages I was able to tell my godson he could eat anything on the table His face was a delight he was so pleased, he usually has to be so careful.

 

MY OH had said he thought I was going over the top be insisting everything on the table had to be egg/dairy/nut/fish free but he agreed after that it was the right thing to do.

That's a really nice story, well done you for having the persistence!

I think that was a wonderful thing for you to do for him! I was at a party recently and there was a small table of the veggie stuff and the other two large tables were for meat eaters. Admittedly there are less veggies, but it must feel so limiting when you have a few things to choose from and the rest have lots to choose from.

He's so good, he just puts up with not being able to have a choice of food without complaint, once I knew what to look for I was quite happy baking away. Although I missed that eggy, buttery smell of cake baking. These recipes smelt quite different - not unpleasant but different.
