Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 I need some help, I had written down how you can use soy flour as an egg replacer (so many tbsp plus water equaled so much egg) anyway, I've lost it and I wonder if anyone knows so I can put it into Mastercook!

Nevermind, I found it. Does anyone happen to know where this came from? I don't have anything listed... * Exported from MasterCook * Replacing Eggs Recipe By :See Notes. Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***** NONE ***** Eggs have two important functions in recipes. First, because the protein in eggs coagulates upon heating, they help to thicken mixtures and hold them together. Second, eggs help to leaven baked goods, which makes them lighter and fuller. Eggs also add some moisture to these baked goods. If the recipe calls for one or two eggs, and don't require a great deal of leavening, just leave them out, adding a couple of extra tablespoons of water or other liquid called for in the recipe for each egg to maintain the intended moisture content . If more than two eggs are called for, substitute one of the following for each egg: ¥ 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) pureed soft tofu ¥ Use 1/4 cup mashed banana, applesauce, pureed prunes, pumpkin, or appropriate other fruit to replace the moisture of one egg and make a product somewhat tender. When using fruit to replace the egg in baked goods, try adding an extra half teaspoon baking powder for each egg omitted. ¥ Flour-baking powder mixture: for one egg, mix 2 tablespoons white flour, 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. ¥ 2 tablespoons cornstarch ¥ 1 heaping tablespoon soy flour mixed with 2 tablespoons water ¥ 1 tablespoon flaxseeds pureed in a blender with 1/4 cup water ¥ Commercial egg replacer: This is a powdered mixture of potato starch, tapioca flour, and leavening agents; sometimes results are dry, experiment to find right combination of egg replacer and liquid To replace eggs that are used for binding, such as in burgers or loaves, try: ¥ Mashed potato ¥ Mashed banana ¥ Flour, matzo meal, or quick-cooking rolled oats (use sparingly; they can give your burger or loaf a heavy, dense quality) ¥ Cooked oatmeal ¥ Fine bread crumbs, moistened ¥ Tomato paste, thinned just a bit with water (not too much water, or it will lose its capacity to hold the recipe together) ¥ Tahini, mixed with a little bit of tomato paste ¥ Four ounces of soft tofu pureed with 1 to 2 tablespoons white flour ¥ Thickened white cream sauce made from flour, margarine, and soy, rice, or oat milk - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 0 Calories; 0g Fat (0.0% calories from fat); 0g Protein; 0g Carbohydrate; 0g Dietary Fiber; 0mg Cholesterol; 0mg Sodium.
