Substitutions for eggs in cooking
Often times, you can skip the eggs in a recipe if it only calls for one or two. All you need to do is add a couple extra tablespoons of liquid to balance the moisture content of the product.
There are several ways in which to substitute eggs in a recipe. For each egg, substitute one of the following:
As Binders
* 1/2 large mashed banana
* Combine one packet of unflavored gelatin with one cup boiling water - 3 tablespoons of this mixture equal one egg
* 1 tablespoon apple puree
* 1/4 cup of soft tofu
As Leavening
* 2 tablespoons carbonated water and 2 teaspoons baking flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon water, and 1 tablespoon vinegar (add vinegar separately at the end for rising)
* Dissolve 1 teaspoon yeast in 1/4 cup warm water
As setting agent
* 1 heaping tablespoon of soy flour and one tablespoon water
* 1 tablespoon rice flour and 1 tablespoon canola oil
* 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder mixed with 3 tablespoons water
* 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water (setting)
* 2 tablespoons gluten flour or unbleached white flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons corn oil, 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 2 tablespoons water
For Whipping
* 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum with about 1/4 cup of water. Let stand. It thickens, and can be whipped like an egg white
| HTH - I found this online. I've also seen a product called "No Egg" in the health section at the supermarket.
