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

I use Smart Balance margerine, lactose and gluten free - but there's a bit of soy in it.

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.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
