INGREDIENTS

3 Cups Self Raising Flour
50 grams reduced fat spread

      I just used light tasty cheese and light olive oil spread. Any other light margarine spread is fine too.

    Hi Amanda, thanks for the recipe. I would like to make these for my 10 mo. I have some frozen purees which I would like to use up, do you think I can mix some in these? Also can I use butter instead of the reduced fat spread? Thanks!

      HI Nadine, sorry for the delay. Yes, the addition of puree would be perfect and yes you can use butter instead.
