This looks easy and delicious. I will try this weekend. One question, what is "low fat spread"? Replacement for butter?

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 :-)
