Thank you for being the 'guinea pig' Kacey! That's really interesting as I'd thought they might be quite heavy.

The waffle maker might have to come out of the top cupboard again!

Kacey wrote:Tried the eggless waffle recipe this morning, it was just as good as the one with eggs. I made it as a savoury version omitting the sugar and adding mixed herbs, paprika and a couple of pinches of chilli flakes. We had them for brunch dolloped with dal. We really enjoyed them, in fact I think I'd rather make them this way than the egg version. I used cider vinegar rather than lemon juice and it worked really well, they were lovely and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Sounds good, Kacey. But I'm not sure which eggless waffle recipe you're referring to! Can you give me a link to it, please?

I really like Liam Charles on Junior Bake Off. Here are his vegan flapjacks. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/j ... -flapjacks

Have you made those, PP?
I just wonder what the difference would be between butter and soya spread.

No but I’ve passed the recipe on to my vegan niece who is going to make them later. I’ll let you know.

There's a recipe for vegan waffles a few pages back on this thread but this is the one I used yesterday:-

1.5 cups of vegan milk - I used soya milk, I upped the quantity too to nearer 2 cups as I felt the batter was a bit thick
2 tsp cider vinegar
2 cups plain flour
1 tbls baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbls brown sugar or maple syrup
a quarter cup of melted coconut oil
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Sift all the dry ingredients in one bowl and mix all the wet ingredients in another, then combine to make the waffle batter.

I omitted all the sweet stuff and added mixed herbs, paprika and chilli flakes

Thanks for that, Kacey. I'll have to give it a try as I have found some waffles a bit too eggy for me!

How many waffles did that recipe make?

That quantity made 6 full size waffles and a single small one.

Thanks, Kacey. I might try half the amount - or even less!!

I don't see why not, I imagine you could make thick American style pancakes with the waffle batter

I was somewhat surprised today to see a promo for Hellman's Vegan Baconnaise - I'm almost tempted to try it, so off the wall

They have introduced 3 new vegan flavours for Veganuary, Bacon, Chipotle and Garlic, and there's a draw to win a complete set

Over here they´re also promoting Hellmann´s Avocado Mayo. Does that exist in the UK?
The TV ad says you can put it on anything; and then whisks through burgers, salads, pasta(?) and even pizza :? :?

Might work on pasta
Chef at a local pub invented a pasta salad to bulk out the sides at a bbq / buffet thing, equal parts of Hellman’s Mayo and Bick’s onion relish on tepid pasta and left to cool

Really pretty good - he did it once as an emergency, but repeated many times

Hi folks. Does anyone have a vegan or veggie recipe for beetroot soup please? Ta.

I have some troots in the fridge and thought borscht, well except for the beef stock and wondered if anything is added to compensate for it like soy sauce or balsamic vinegar or it's just replaced with veg stock.

Not soup but Nigel has been messing about with beetroot this week.

have you tried mushroom stock cubes? i buy the 'winiery' ones from the local eastern european food shop. they give a good, deeper flavour than other veg stock cubes/powder.

Ah, no, I didn't know mushroom cubes existed so thanks scullion I'll scout them out if I can. I have toyed with getting mushroom ketchup, deterred by £5 p&p. I imagine either would work (whichever I can get).

Thanks also to Pepper Pig for Nigel's beetroot dish. Worth remembering the elements of it for when there's more sun and fewer snowy temperatures...

Kallo do a good mushroom one too, and a nice rich French Onion, both vegan and in most supermarkets

That sounds like a good suggestion, scully.
Just at a guess I reckon a tiny tsp of marmite would make the grade as well. Just fry up some onions in olive oil, add the cooked beets, water, marmite, salt & pepper - ready.
