What is it about the yeast that makes it work?

[entreat]

yeast makes things grow.

no idea, but then, I have no idea how bumble bees can fly - but they do.

I was actually really interested to find out why to see if there is an alternative as we are yeast intolerant in this house, so I did some research and found out it's because brewers yeast in very high in B vitamins and other vitamins.

Hi, I live in a rural area and I really want to try these cookies, does anyone know if i can substitute the flaxseed meal for chia? I dont think i will be able to get my hands on the flaxseed within the next week as i would have to get it posted, and I am getting desperate, i just expressed only 20mLs for my 8 weeks old.

This is my Aussie-fied version of the various American recipes floating around. It is especially for those who like me, hate to measure. Much.

Cream 500g Butter.

Chuck in what's left of the Brown Sugar in the packet. (In our house - prolly about 4 tbsp)

Coupla spoonfuls of Peanut Butter.

Coupla spoonfuls of Molasses.

Dollop of Flaxseed Oil.

1 can of Condensed Milk

1 egg

Dribble of Vanilla

Shake of Cinnamon & Nutmeg

Cream-cream-cream-cream it all together.



Now, ready for the dry ingredients:

A cup or so of rolled oats

A cup or so of Self Raising Flour



Now for the Healthy Bits:

Any thing you like from the following list or similar:

Wheatgerm

Brewers Yeast

Flaxseed Meal or that LSA stuff

Whey Powder

Crushed nuts of your choice (I like Pecans, Walnuts and Almonds)

Goji Berries

Raisins / Sultanas

Chopped dried Apricots

Chia

Sunflower Seeds



And the Yummy Bits, to make you eat them:

Choc Chips



Mix it all together until it's the right consistency to shape cookies.



No way am I going to tell you what temp oven or how long, your oven is different to mine, mine is gas, with no fan, so you cook them right up under the grill to avoid them burning on the bottom, on a really low temp, until they are just barely pale brown then whip 'em out quick before they over-cook on the bottom. Now, your oven's not like that, is it??

Lactation cookies made a huge difference for us especially when the twins were in ICU and I was pumping for them and my supply dropping.

I love the recipe. I have been also coping with low breast milk production and increased my supply with an herbal natural home remedy called Healthy nursing tea. THese natural things are the best and safe.
