Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Ener-G Egg Replacer Source: Noelvn's Vegan site Ener-G Egg Replacer is the favored standby of many, if not most, vegan and lacto bakers. It contains potato starch, tapioca flour, leavening, and carbohydrate gum (whatever that is). It can be beaten until it forms peaks, so it's good for incorporating tiny bubbles into baked goods that need them. My reservation with Ener-G Egg Replacer is that it contains added leaveners. As I mention elsewhere, baking powder does not simply disappear when it reacts; it leaves residues which, in sufficient quantities, can be tasted. When I've used this stuff in blind taste tests, my taster has mentioned what she called " a weird chemical-y taste " . I've always noticed this in things made with Ener-G Egg Replacer as well, but there are plenty of people who it doesn't bother. Ener-G Egg Replacer comes in a box, and is available at most natural food stores, usually located near baking supplies and exotic flours, or else hidden among miscellaneous prepared foods that come in boxes. It's also available from the Mail Order Catalog (800-695-2241). 1 1/2 teaspoons of Ener-G Egg Replacer plus 2 tablespoons of water equals one egg.
