Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
- 2.5 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Measure out 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and place it into a small bowl or container.
Step 2
Add 2.5 tablespoons of water to the ground flaxseed.
Step 3
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the ground flaxseed is evenly moistened.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. The flaxseed will absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency resembling a raw egg.
Step 5
Use the flax egg in your recipe as a substitute for one chicken egg. This works best in recipes that require eggs for binding, such as baked goods.
