| I always use Olivani (cos I'm lactose intolerant). Only thing it DOESN'T work in, is slices that need to be put into the fridge to set, as it's oil based and of course, oil doesn't set. |

I use margarine in almost all my baking. Its never made a difference yet!
By margarine I mean any of those butter type spreads btw  ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I use margarine/table spread in all my baking too and it doesn't seem to make a difference. If I was making shortbread though, or something else that is really buttery I would use real butter. -------------

I use Olivani, and a friend found a much cheaper alternative - dag nab it I just can't remember the name... it's a dairy-free marg, in a round tub... oh that's helpful isn't it. Bah! But there is a cheaper one out there, somewhere. ------------- Andie |

Sorry, I should have been more specific...I meant substitue for butter/marg. I use marg now but we want to switch to butter but it's so darn expensive I can't justify using it for all the baking I do. ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

I use oil for cakes and muffins and have had success in a muesli slice. We used to use oil and water with self raising flour when making scones at playcentre because of allergies and they were ok, but you needed jam or something because they are pretty bland. I haven't used oil for any other type of slice though. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
