Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Good Morning Everyone. Is there anyone out there that has had experience baking with the stick version of the vegan buttery spread Earth Balance? Since this will be my first vegan holiday season (used to be ovo/lacto) I have been experimenting with my regular holiday recipes. I had tried cookies with the stick version of Earth Balance before and though they were not over baked, I found them to have a bit of a burnt taste to them. Yesterday, I tried a shortbread recipe, and though it is baked at a low temp. (275), and was definately NOT over cooked, they also had that " burnt flavor " . Has anyone else experienced this? On the other hand, the texture was VERY nice. Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I have never used the stick version but the kind in the tub always works well for me. steffdav46 <steffdav46 wrote: Good Morning Everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I use the tub version and have never had a problem with it. Maybe it is the stick kind? I did make something (can't remember what it was) that did burn a bit on the bottom, but fortunately it didn't taste burnt, but I did catch it right away. linda - > > steffdav46 <steffdav46 wrote: > Good Morning Everyone.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I bake with Earth Balance sticks- at first I found things to taste a bit too oily & buttery. I've had to play with the recipes by adding a little more flour or sugar. Sometimes I substitute applesauce for the Earth Balance. I have found the website www.fatfreevegan.com to be helpful. And they have some good recipes! If you go to www.fatfreevegan.com Click- McDougall MWLP Click- fatfree FAQs Click on the question " What do I use to replace fat and eggs in cooking? " They have some really interesting substitutions for butter & eggs- most of which I haven't tried yet! Does anyone have a " tried & true " vegan chocolate cake recipe? I have tried baking many vegan cakes- but still can't get that moist chocolate cake texture that I'm looking for! Thanks!!! Shayne , " steffdav46 " <steffdav46 wrote: > > Good Morning Everyone.
