hi Ann,
Can you use anything instead of the egg??
- AnnNovember 6, 2019, 9:05 amReply
  Hi Anna, you can try swapping the yolk for 1/2 tsp chick pea flour, 1/2 a tsp of flax seed meal and 1/2 teaspoon of water. It will have a slightly different texture and taste.

Hi, for the chantille cream, what sugar did you use? Normal white sugar?
- Admin HowToCookThatJune 1, 2017, 2:14 pmReply
  Hi Mohammad, Ann usually uses caster sugar, which is a lot finer than normal table sugar.
