Because of my daughters intollerances i had to leave out the sugar, change milk to goats milk and use soya free dairy free spread instead of butter. I used the SR gluten free flour. They turned out beautifully and tasted lovely. Nice and light textue. I could not make topping, but were lovely anyway.
