Can you make a substitution suggestion for the milk powder? My son is gluten, nut and dairy free?
Thanks

For the milk powder substitution just leave it out
or add the equivalent amount of flour. The eggs are a little more difficult as they are the binder. You could add a mix of Olive oil and a dairy free spread or I make a linseed gel which is a good egg replacer although I have not tried it in this recipe. Put half a cup of water in a pot. Add 1-2 tablespoons of linseed, bring to the boil and turn off. Leave for a few minutes until the gel forms then strain if you don’t want the texture of the rest of the seed. I usually use the whole lot. Hope this helps.

I tried this recipie but made a couple of substitutions for things I as not able to eat.
Tastes delicious and very filling for the times it takes longer than you planned and there is no gluten free food available at the cafe. Even my husband liked them.
