Welp I want to try that gluten-free toll house recipe from Nestle, but it calls for butter. Since I am attempting to elminate milk from my diet to test for intolerence, what can I use in place of butter when baking?

Thanks!

If you don't mind soy, you can use Crisco. The butter-flavored sticks are great for cookies. For a soy-free alternative, Spectrum makes a solid shortening. I have found it at Whole Foods.

Hmm I have crsico, I use it for non-stick baking, I will have ot check it out. Would it be 1 for 1?

You would use Crisco 1 for 1 to sub for butter. What do you mean by non stick baking? Oh--you mean to grease the pan? (I'm a little slow on the uptake :( ) Yea, just straight substitute the Crisco for the butter.

Another thing about using Crisco vs. butter--the cookies come out chewier, and not so flat.

Yep, grease the pan. :) Littel gluten-free flour helps too.

If it turns out to be only a lactose problem, then I use Fleishmann's. They have a margarine that is both gluten free and lactose free.

Happy baking!

I used Spectrum Organic Shortening and Spectrum coconut oil/butter. I use the 1:1 ratio for both. I saw Kroger was carrying the shortening now. My mom made wonderful eggless, dairy free brownies for me the other day. She used Bob's Brownie Mix, Spectrum Organic Shortening and Ener-G Egg Replacer. They we're incrediable!!! :D

No help from me on the butter issue, but as far as the shortening-in-cookie thing, Alton Brown had a Good Eats episode called "three chips for Sister Marsha" (can't tell I'm a fan, right?) and at least one of the recipes used shortening. If you could catch that episode, he'd explain all of the wonders of using different fats for different results. I think in all three recipes he used variations of the Toll House recipe!

The shortening one was the "puffy" cookie... :)

The episode will air on Food Network on these dates:

Might be latcose free, but its NOT dairy free. We have it here, and Whey is in the ingredients.

Earth Balance is really really good. It is completely dairy and gluten free. It does contain soy though.

If you can tolerate soy, we use Earth Balance. I've not found anything that doesn't work properly with Earth balance instead of butter.

Personally, we think it even tastes better then butter!! But then perhaps that is due to te fact that we haven't had butter in our house for 4 years now!!!

So far, I've gotten away with olive oil. I even use it in mashed potatoes.... If you go to a store like WholeFoods, there are tons of flavored oils. We like the flavored Avocado oils. I also have walnut oil, grapeseed oil, but there are lots and lots to choose from. Maybe you couldn't get away with using oil in this recipe, but it may work for you in others that call for smaller amounts of butter. Maybe applesauce? maybe mashed bananas? Experimenting can be fun. What do they use in other cultures?

Maple butter sounds good.

I found that the Walmart brand of margarine in the tub is dairy free. I've used it in a lot of baking and it works pretty well.

I use Fleischmann's salt free, lactose free margarine. It is actually dairy-free and gluten-free.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
