Why doesn t Mary Berry leave Bake Off? ›

Mary Berry, who served as a judge on The Great British Bake Off, decided not to continue with the show when it moved from the BBC to Channel Four for several reasons. One of the main reasons was her loyalty to the BBC, where she had worked for many years and felt a strong connection to.

Mary announced she was leaving Bake Off alongside original hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins when it was confirmed Channel 4 had outbid the BBC on the rights to continue airing the show in 2017. She was replaced by Prue Leith, with Noel and Sandi Toksvig replacing Mel and Sue as presenters.

Ghee. Ghee is a type of clarified butter with an aromatic and nutty taste. It contains very low amounts of casein or lactose and is thus a safer choice for people with milk allergy or lactose intolerance ( 7 ). In baked goods for which a strong, buttery flavor is desirable, it can replace butter at a 1:1 ratio.

While keeping that in mind, some of the most commonly used substitutes include coconut oil, coconut butter, olive oil, safflower oil, nut butter, applesauce, yogurt, and dairy free butter.
