Boozy Cherry Cupcakes. Psyllium husk will make you feel like David Blaine in the kitchen. It transforms grain-free and gluten-free baking. Soak the husks in plant milk to make vegan ‘buttermilk’. Barely any chefs and food writers use psyllium, which is a Herculean shame. Let’s try to change that. Similar to slippery elm, psyllium is used to treat both constipation and diarrhoea. How so? The husks of the seed are indigestible and swell to 10 times their weight, creating beneficial mucus for the intestinal tract and lowering transit time (gag). Good for cholesterol too. Rapid. You won’t find a better vegan cupcake. From Susan Jane White’s Cookbook: The Virtuous Tart
