This looks easy and delicious. I will try this weekend. One question, what is “low fat spread”? Replacement for butter?
Hi Nik! Indeed it is very easy and delicious recipe
pls have a look here for a selection of low fat spreads http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/food/low_fat/spreads.htmI‘ve used Flora.
I am not in the UK so these products are unavailable to me. But, i now know what low fat spread is. I will probably use regular margarine (i don't really care for low fat, but if that ruins the recipe then let me know). Thanks Myrto! Btw, Flora = Becel here in the Netherlands
You can use regular margarine as well it won’t ruin the recipe
