I hardly ever bake from scratch, because I’m too busy doing other things. But I have mastered the art of vegan mixes, which I highly recommend.
My brownie mix secret? Use any vegan brownie mix, and instead of whatever they recommend, make the brownies with 1/4 cup Tofutti Sour Supreme, 1/4 cup melted vegan chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons of ground flax soaked in 1/4 cup of water. You may need to add more water to the mix, depending on what mix you use.
These brownies come out rich, wonderful, and no one would ever guess they are vegan!
I did a little experimenting with vegan bakalva, and it’s quite easy to make. I layered fillo dough (brushed with melted Earth Balance margarine) and ground up nuts (almonds and walnuts seasoned with a little cinnamon and nutmeg). Baked at 350 for around 30 or 40 minutes, and then I poured a simple syrup over it. Next time, I am going to try to use agave instead.
Fillo dough is surprisingly easy to work with – especially if you keep the dough covered with a damp towel!
