Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I've read some evidence that only fermented soy products are acceptable. Soy flour would not be one of them. I also read somewhere that ground up flax seeds can be used as an egg substitute in recipes, but I can't remember where. I'll ask the flaxseed oil list for you, and get back to you.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I wasn't familiar with Ener-g, so I looked it up. It says the ingredients are: Ingredients Potato Starch, tapioca starch flour, leavening (calcium lactate [not derived from dairy], calcium carbonate, citric acid), sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose I don't like that it is full of chemicals, but as an occasional additive, say for baking, it seems to be better than most. I also googled flax seeds as an egg replacement and came up with this: Eggs - Substitute - - INGREDIENTS 1 cup flax seeds 4 cups water METHOD In a blender, process flax seeds to a fine meal. Add water and blend. Keeps about 2 weeks, refrigerated. 1/4 cup replaces one egg. NOTES Some people use ground up flax seeds and water. Others use whizzed-up silken tofu (an egg's worth? maybe 3 tablespoons). Personally, I have found that I can use a little more baking powder and things turn out fine without egg or egg-replacer. For example, I like making banana nut muffins and banana bread. I add an extra banana, double the baking powder, and it works fine (it also comes out moister). Be sure you use a non-aluminum baking powder like Rumford; doubling on the aluminum makes it really bitter (and it's not good for you anyway). Interesting...and the tofu is fermented so that would be ok too... Cyndi In a message dated 4/30/2008 9:15:40 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, strange_decadence writes: I've used Ener-G egg replacer.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 The notes were about baking pawder, not baking soda. Baking power has a few more ingredients added to it. Your A/H baking soda is fine. :-) Glad to help! :-) Cyndi In a message dated 4/30/2008 10:35:20 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, tressa1220 writes: THANKS Cyndi! I knew I could count on you!
