Can you use Egg Replacer in savory recipes?
I have been using Egg Replacer powder for many years for baking. I was wondering if you can also use it for savory recipes that ask for eggs such as patties....
Thanks

It works just fine! You may need to fiddle around with your recipe to find out exactly how much you need to use. As a general rule either reduce your liquid ingredients a little or use a touch more powder. I've never had either Orgran or Ener-G replacer change the taste (other than removing that nasty egginess) of what I use it in.
You are also welcome to try using any of the food gums to replace egg like Xanthan (the strongest and my fave choice), Acacia (aka Locust Bean), Carageen (aka Carageenan) or Agar-agar. The gumminess (duh, it's a gum
Flax eggs do work but most people find they leave a grittiness and an almost cardboard like taste in food. The other bad thing about them is that to many people the high fiber content results in a laxative effect. Not pleasant if you weren't looking for that!

I find that for binding patties and such, it is better to grind some flax seeds in the blender or food processor, and mix 1 tablespoon with 3 tablespoons of warm water for each egg you are replacing. I let it sit for about 5 minutes-it has the exact same consitancy as an egg. I found the powder stuff altered the taste. I hope this helps (by the way, if it is a sweet recipe, like waffles or pancakes, applesauce or baby food works well too.
Absolutely. I have used it to bread vegies and in any baking that requires eggs
