The amount of cream you use is different all the time.YOu break the eggs into the cup and fill it with the cream - it will therefore depend on how big the cup is you use.

So to boycott Butter you use cream instead mmmmmmm irony much ;)You could always beat the cream until very firm first with a little salt discard the watery stuff ;)

I am boycotting butter!I refuse to pay the price that we do for it so now I am on the search for baking recipes that dont have it in them! First one I will share: Cream cake: 2 eggs, half tsp salt, cream, 6oz self raising flour, 3/4 cup sugar. Break the eggs into a cup and fill with cream. Beat well with salt and sugar - add sifted flour and bake for 20 min in a moderate oven.Can be made into patty cakes or 2 x 8inch sandwich tins. Variations: Grated rind of orange, coffee, cocoa.Cherries even. This is a no fail cake - it has worked every time I have made it and is deliciously light.I never use self raising flour - always add the bp to plain flour.

This brownie has no butter, oil or eggs but still has the rich fudgy taste. Can't recall where I found this, so apologies to whoever may have originally posted it.
Brownie 1 cup apple puree; 1/3 cup cocoa; 3/4 cup SR flour; 1/2 tsp baking soda; 1/2 cup sugar; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 cup dark choc chips; 3/4 cup chopped walnuts. Gently stir together first 6 ingredients (don't over mix). Fold in chocolate & nuts. Bake in 20x20 sprayed/lined dish 175C 25-30 mins till centre set & fudgy. Cool 5-10 mins then turn out. Cool, slice & keep in airtight tin. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Out of curiosity and before I post recipes that may not meet the criteria, do you think that oil is also too expensive to cook with as well!

Hi BUzzy - no - I think there are some pretty decent priced oils to be had.Besides the point of this is just to boycott butter till they find theyre not selling enough and maybe bring the prices down again!Yeah - I know - this isnt likely to happen but we all have to make a stand in even just a small way!

After that you may have to boycott grains and sugar too:
I have an easy peasy one - have made it many times, especially good when the cupboard it looking bare as it doesn't need butter or eggs.
In a bowl mix together 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp bp, 1.5 cups coconut, 1 cup sugar, 1.5 cups milk, 1 tsp vanilla essence. I often add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder for a change. Bake at 160-170 deg C for an hour or so.

I haven't used this advice myself but I thought it was definitely worth keeping in mind in case I ever needed/wanted to substitute oil for butter.
"make all my muffins with oil instead of butter now. My rule is for every 50g butter use 40ml oil. I use rice bran or canola oil now as it is apparently healthier but I guess you could use olive. fantalantique (408 ) 1:46 pm, 26 Jul"
Hope that helps. :-))
