Oh FLAX….I purposely forgot the eggs.

Well okay, maybe you didn't forget your eggs, but I don't bake with them, so I did. Flax works amazingly well as an egg replacer. Here is a nifty trick I learned that I think every savvy baker should know. This one is for Angie who asked me what the heck do you do with flax seeds.

Flax Egg-replacer

equivalent to one egg

1 Tbl ground flax seeds

3 Tbls hot water

Whisk the flax seeds and hot water together and let sit until it reaches an egg-like consistency (about 5 minutes). Let cool before using.

Double, triple, or quadruple this recipe as needed for amount of eggs replacing.

1/4 cup (4 Tbls) is equivalent to one egg.

Just tuck this little piece of knowledge into your baking arsenal, you never know when it will be handy!
