Anna Doggart's Freefrom Soda 'Breads'

Egg, gluten, nightshade, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

Anna is an old friend of ours who has cooked for a coeliac family for years, complicated over the last few years by the fact that her son George cannot eat eggs. 'When they are served people often slice them in half and then butter them. I have also made them with Christmas mince meat folded into the middle of the dough mixture. They worked out really well. We particularly like the fact that they are both wheat and egg free so both Frank and George can eat them. I should also say that I find them delicious too!'
