Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Susan, Could you please say more about using ground flaxseed as an egg replacer? I haven't heard this before and it sounds great. I grind 2 or 3 T of flaxseed each morning in a coffee grinder, then dump the ground flaxseed into my blender --- where it becomes part of my green smoothie. So, I have lots of flaxseed on hand, and am used to grinding it up. All I need to know is how much to use in place of an egg, and any comments you have on whether this really works well in recipes. Many thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Moira, I use flax as an egg replacer in things like burgers, cookies, cakes, and anything else I want to stick together. It does not provide leavening, so if you're using it in a cake you have to rely on something else to make it rise. I do it very simply. I keep a bag of ground flaxseeds (do them about 1/2 cup at a time in my blender) in the freezer, so about 10 minutes before I want to use them, I mix 1/2 tablespoons of ground flax with 2 tablespoons of warm-hot water. I let it sit until it has thickened somewhat. Then I use it in place of 1 egg. I never do this for more than two eggs--that seems to be too much flax. Besides egg replacement, I like to use ground flaxseeds in salad dressings to thicken them up. I just add a teaspoon or two to the dressing, mix well, and let it rest until it thickens, usually an hour or two.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I to the digest, so I just received the several posts in response to my thanks to Susan re: Apple Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. I used 1T ground flax seed to 3T hot water for each egg equivalent. I stirred it, and let it rest for a few minutes until it thickened. (Apparently: by the posts, there are various proportions that seem to work). flaxseed as an egg replacement?
