Vegan

[Guest guest]

I would like to ask a person who considers themselves to be a part of a vegan

diet, exactly what is vegan? And why vegan?

 

Thank you in advance

After going upstairs and reading over the master mix recipes, I

realized they called for " unflavored gelatin " --you know, the NON-

vegan stuff! All the recipes in this book are GF and CF, most are

soy free, plus she's conscious of Feingold guidelines, corn

problems, etc. But the recipes are not all vegan. Hopefully,

something vegan will work just as well in this mix, and someone can

convert " 2 packets " of the " other stuff " in this recipe to the vegan

equivalent that will work best here. That being said, here are the

recipes, as written by Lisa Lewis in her book " Special Diets for

Special Kids " .

 

Vanilla Pudding Mix

 

3 cups Vance's DariFree (potato milk powder--haven't tried it using

soy or rice or nut milk powder but it may work)

1-1/2 cups sugar (I'm assuming she means granulated white sugar--I'd

use rapadura or something similar)

1-1/2 cups tapioca or arrowroot starch

1-1/2 tsp. salt

4 tsp. xanthan gum

2 packets unflavored gelatin

 

Combine ingredients thoroughly. One cup mix is used per recipe

(below).

 

To make pudding:

 

1 cup pudding mix

3/4 cup liquid milk substitute (soy or DariFree work best)

1 cup water (reduce to 3/4 cup for thicker pudding)

1 egg, beaten (or equivalent)

1 tsp. pure vanilla

1 T. CF margarine

 

Empty mix into 1-2 qt. saucepan. Over low heat, add milk and water

slowly. Whisk until smooth.

 

Raise heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until pudding

thickens and small bubbles begin to form around the edge of the pan.

Cook 2-3 minutes longer, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.

Remove from heat.

 

Stir vanilla into beaten egg, and then whisk 1/2 cup hot pudding

into the egg mixture.

 

Return egg mixture to the pot and add margarine. Stir well.

 

If lumps form, strain as you pour into serving dishes. Cover with

plastic wrap to prevent skin forming on top of pudding, and chill.
