Well my headaches eased off a bit now and I just got my breakfast.

Pancakes are my faaaaaaaav food! so I made up some of the Dairy free Yorkshire pudding mix (Recipe here) and with some lemon and sugar totally yummy!

It is so surprising how little difference milk makes in so many things and that dairy free cooking can be so easy

Dairy free smoked haddock and leek fishcakes

So we used to buy Smoked haddock and leek fishcakes from Tesco but they contain cheese and now I'm dairy free I can't have them, but I absolutly love them!

So I decided to give it ago myself and they tasted exactly like the tesco ones! and you can freeze them too!

Ingredients (Makes about 10 fishcakes)

450g smoked haddock
1 leek
5 medium potatos
1 egg
Breadcrumbs (use gluten free bread for gluten free)
Pepper
1 tbs Lemon juice
2 tsp Mixed herbs
small amount of oil

Method

oven cook the haddock

Grate or finally chop 1 leek and the potatoes (I used the grating attachment on my food processer)
Add the haddock, lemon juice, herbs and pepper mix well

Then take the mix out and form into pattys
Heat a pan with the oil in it so its very hot

Cover the haddock pattys in egg then breadcrumb and fry quickly

I find cooking them so the fish is cooked and then letting them cool on a wire rack then re heating them to make the breadcrumb golden makes for a firmer fishcake.

So easy to make and deffinatly yummy!

These are not really sutible for babies due to a high salt content from the smoking process but if you use unsmoked haddock then its fine for any age.

Dairy free fishfingers ideal for weaning

These fishfingers are totally yummy so easy to make and contain no additives, salt or any other naughty stuff commercial ones contain...



To make these I used the left over white fish from my dairy free fish pie I made yesterday I kept 2 coley portions and it was enough to make 6 fishfingers...

They can be gluten free using variation

Ingredients

2 white fish portions (I used coley but any would be fine)
Breadcrumbs
one egg 

Method

Beat the egg in a dish
Cut the white fish into strips (I freeze my fish when I purchase it and its easier to cut the fish into strips while it is frozen)
pop some bread crumbs onto a plate

Dip each fish strip into the egg, then the bread crumbs, then egg and finally bread crumb again
Pop into a hot frying pan and quickly fry each side to crisp them
after sealing put into a hot oven about gas mark 7 (which is about 425F and 220C ) for about 5-7 minutes

and bish bash bosh you got yummy fish fingers

Perfect for weaning as they are able to hold them and they dont contain any nasty stuff

Dairy free yorkshire puddings

Now who doesn't love a good yorkshire pudding
I know I do, and I was very disapointed that obviously being dairy free for the sake of my baby girl I couldn't have any... well I was wrong, I considered using a milk alternitive to make them but I was advised on http://www.totzrus.co.uk/ by another mum who's daughter was dairy free that these did not work well and made them too sweet. she also said about a family memeber making them using water...

So I tried it using the following

2 eggs
1 cup of self raising flour
1 cup of cold water
pinch of salt and pepper

Mixed it very well and cooked in a muffin tray for 30 minutes

and it worked amazingly they were slightly heavy so next time I will use less batter in each one I think this will make them perfect

These would also be good for a finger food for a baby, but just leave the salt out!

Burger recipe - Dairy and gluten free, suitable for babies

This is my burger recipe, its dairy and gluten free and is suitable for babies age 6mths+

Ingredients

500g minced beef (The better the mince the better I prefer using lean steak mince)
2 medium onions
2 tbs of mixed herbs
1 tsp mustard powder
1 clove of garlic (or garlic powder)
1 tsp salt (Leave this out if making for babies)
2 tsp pepper
1 egg

Method

Finely dice the onions and mix with the dry ingredients and egg.
Add to the mince and mix thoroughly, you will know when its mixed properly as the mince becomes one big ball.

Heat a pan with a small amount of  oil, then shape the mince into small pattys being careful not to make them too big or they won't cook properly.

Cook thoroughly and serve

Variation: for spicy burgers finely chop chilli peppers and add to the mix before cooking
