Homemade egg substitute recipe

Homemade egg substitutes are less expensive and just as satisfactory!. They also have few calories!. Here's a low cholesterol egg substitute recipe:

1 tablespoon of nonfat dry milk powder
2 egg whites from large eggs
4 drops of yellow food color

Sprinkle powdered milk over egg whites, then beat them with fork until smooth!. Add food color, and beat until blended!. This makes 1/4 cup, which is equal to 1 large egg!. If you use this homemade substitute for scrambled eggs, cook it in vegetable oil or margarine so the eggs won't be too dry!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most cake recipes call for atleast one egg and if you leave them out, you're cake will not work!. However, I have a great recipe for a delicious egg-free chocolate cake that you're welcome to:

Egg-free/dairy-free chocolate cake:

(tastes like the "real" thing!)

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa (more for a richer chocolate)
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 tsp vinegar (optional)
1 cup cold water

mix ingredients and bake at 375 for 25-30 minWww@FoodAQ@Com

It can be done without them, for instance I have a friend who is allergic, and she manages her equivalent, though it isn't quite the same!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I suppose you could use egg whites, of course it wouldn't be as flavourful or fluffy and moist but it would be alot healthier!. Sure egg yolk is a bit fatning but it makes it fluffy and moist!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Mainly, yes!. But if you would like to use a substitute, an answer above listed a big list of them, it will change the taste of your cake!. :] Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes you are going to need eggs to hold the cake together and to stabilize the cake!. They also help to aerate cakes because you whip air into them when mixing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
