Dairy free jam tarts?

7 replies

sandtimerhalfempty · 29/10/2013 08:12

I've made the jam..... But struggling to find a recipe that doesnt include 'fake' dairy (that I can't get because we want to cook today)

Any ideas?

Has jus rol pastry got dairy in?

Could you try making a pastry with oil in instead of butter if you have no Pure marg?

Make the pastry using Trex or similar. Basically solid veg oil. Makes good pastry.

I can't remember the name of the brand, possibly JusRol, but you can buy dairy-free shortcrust pastry. In the blue packet, IIRC. It's not marketed as DF, you have to check the ingredients.

To make pastry with oil you need a different recipe. You can't just replace fat for fat. I know, I've tried. It does not work. You can more-or-less replace solid fat for solid fat, but liquid fat soaks into the flour and has a different effect. I had an oil-recipe for pastry (lost it - doh!) and it made a thinnish, crispy-chewy pastry, not a crumbly shortcrust.

Do you have dripping, lard or any other animal fat? They make good pastry. At a pinch you can use suet and roll the pastry very thin.

Good. I use it for egg free dd2 who used to be dairy free but couldn't remember if we had used it when she couldn't have dairy either
