FLAX EGG RECIPE
Flax seed egg substitute mostly works in recipes which does not require a light/fluffy texture. I personally use flax egg replacement in recipes in which eggs are used as a binding agent, rather than as a leavening agent or for moisture.

Steps:
- Take a tablespoon of ground flax seed.
- Add 2.5 to 3 tablespoons (I personally prefer 3) of warm water.

Steps:
- Simmer flax seeds and water in a saucepan for about 5 minutes (or less or more time depending on the amount you are making) or until thick, egg-like consistency has been reached.
- Let cool before using in a recipe.** (About 10 minutes).
- This recipe makes 1 eggs worth, but it can be easily made into a larger quantity using the 1:3 ratio- for example, 1 cup ground flax seeds and 3 cups water (that would make 16 eggs worth) and will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
- Use about 1/4 cup (which is equal to 4Tbs) egg substitute for every egg.
