After reading all of the comments, I feel confident I'll be able to revive a favorite--pasties (cornish meat pies, hand shaped). Have fond memories of pasties and port picnic on the stormy shores of Lake Superior. We've been missing these since going dairy free & gluten free. My plan is to omit or seriously reduce the sugar, skip the clear gel, use Earth Balance Organic Buttery Spread as a substitute for the butter. I'm looking forward to the experience! Love the blog for each recipe. It contributes to unique communities of cooks and dietary needs. Thanks.
