dairy free

It has occurred to me that most of my recent blog posts are food related.  Well here's another one.  Just a few pix of the little chef making pizza.  I'm still a little nervous with him using the adult knives (he is five) so I stay within hovering distance.  We made biscuits at the weekend and I realised why things don't taste quite as good as I remember them growing up... it's the butter.  Or to be accurate the lack of butter.

I wish sometimes I could use butter and cream and condensed milk in my baking.  Condensed milk is oh so delicious!  I remember eating it straight from a can with my friend Annabel when we camped in her back yard as kids.  It was our midnight feast and I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to be having it.  Oh those condensed milk memories. Mmmmmmmmm.

You should totally post the recipe you use for dairy free pizza, and how you make your bases...

I love his poised hands in the second photo - so sweet! What a clever wee guy :)
Your condensed milk memory is hilarious! I can't imagine your friend's mum endorsing it as a midnight snack though, "Here you are girls, a tin of condensed milk for a midnight feast!"..... now THAT would be a cool mum! ;D

I so miss condensed milk too - especially when used to make that apricot fudgey biscuit slice. Oh and straight out of the tin too. Yum.

Ha ha, I just stumbled across this post! I think my mum DID used to endorse condensed milk as a treat... in fact I'm pretty sure she always snuck a few teaspoons herself when she baked. And we always got a can each in our Xmas stockings every year!
