  Chef's tip

  Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.

  Chef's tip

  Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

  1 cup whole milk

  Chef's tip

  Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
