Guest guest Posted August 10, 2002 Report Share Posted August 10, 2002 Hi Lisa. Thanks for the recipe. What type of margarine do you use for it to be vegan? I use Blue Bonnet light for some vegan cooking since there's no dairy in it, but it is whipped with a lot of water so it's no good for baking (and a little weird for frying). I don't usually get soy margarine since it's very expensive when you can find it out here. Does soy margarine work for baking? Would butter flavored Crisco work? I used that for sugar cookies the other day and they tasted really rich. I couldn't find anything objectionable (vegan-wise) on the label. Thanks. -- Alicia A Magical Childhood http://www.magicalchildhood.com " The best way to make children good is to make them happy.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 hi alicia i've actually used crisco in some recipes, but not for this. However, I think it could work in this recipe. I don't know where you live, but here in Canada we have a brand called PRESIDENT'S CHOICE which makes a great margarine that is vegan and decent for cooking too! It's cheap as well!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Thanks Lisa. I'm in the boonies of SW Minnesota. Our regular grocery store doesn't carry any soy margarine. If I travel half an hour one way I can get some at the co-op but a tiny tub is something like $3. If I go an hour in the other direction I can get it for slightly less but we rarely have a real reason to head to that city. It does make being a vegan frustrating! I visited friends in Albuquerque last winter and was so jealous of how easy it was to be vegan there. I'll try it with Crisco. Not the healthiest option but I can live with that. I eat far too healthy nowadays anyway! <VBG> -- Alicia A Magical Childhood http://www.magicalchildhood.com " The best way to make children good is to make them happy.
