Super! This far exceeds the previous recipe I had used that called for cold tap water and a five minute wait. By using just boiled water, and having the act of making the flax “egg” the last step in one’s mise en place, you’re right ready to start working on putting together whatever baked goods you’re working on without the interruption to your flow of having to make the egg or—instead of being interrupted—having to wait for the egg before starting.

I’ve been using this recipe for years and always mean to review it but forget!

Anyway, it’s been such a godsend for me. It’s allowed me to adapt loads and loads of my pre-vegan favourites so easily.

Most importantly, my grandmother used to cook what she called ‘fruity buns’ – they were a staple during my childhood and she passed the recipe to me when I was old enough to bake them myself. I made them for her funeral in 2015, and for my wedding later that year. I became vegan at the start of 2017 and despaired at the idea of never having them again (they contain egg but are otherwise vegan). I’ve been using this flax egg recipe to replicate them ever since I found it, and they’re magnificent. Thank you SO SO MUCH for bringing one of my favourite recipes back to me. I am really grateful.

Hi dear, thank you for such nice recipes. About the flax, I just wanted you to know that I make vegan cake using whole wheat rice flour and is a great “STICKER” for the dough.

Kind regards

In reply to emma. It depends on the recipe, but likely yes.

Hi! Do I need to reduce my overall wet ingredients to compensate for the flax eggs? Thanks!

In reply to monica. 1 flax egg replaces 1 regular egg. So if you want to replace 2 flax eggs then use as much egg replacer as you'd use to replace 2 regular eggs.

In reply to Anna.

This does work. I use it to dip floured eggplant in before panko bread crumb coating eggplant fries. You do have to let it rest 15-20 minutes for it to get real sticky. I actually like vegan battered eggplant fries, opposed to the egg batter.
