Soy flour?

[imafirecracker]

Does anyone use soy flour instead of eggs when baking? I've read about this, mostly in the Tightwad Gazette, and would like to know how much is saved by substituting.

Also, where do you purchase soy flour? I haven't seen it at my grocery store.

Thanks for your help!

I have not kept track of savings on this but do it for baking. It is handy because i can keep the soy flour in my pantry and don't have to wonder when it is time to bake as to whether I have enough eggs or not.

I buy my soy flour in a health food store.

Hello...

May I ask please exactly how this substitution works? I would like to try this. I have soy flour in my pantry now. Have never heard of this before.

Thanks...

I use it in baking too with fine results (although I keep mine in the freezer since I heard somewhere that the oils in the soy flour can go rancid quickly -- don't know if this is true or not, but since we do go through it so sloooowly it seemed like a reasonable idea). I also purchase mine at the health food store. The substitution is one heaping Tbsp soy flour mixed with water (some say 1 Tbsp water, others say 2 Tbsp) for each egg in the recipe....

Do you remember how much you paid for it, and the amount? I'd like to try it but only if it's cheaper than eggs.

Thanks!

No doubt...this is cheaper than eggs. And we don't have to worry about soy flour being "cage free"...do we?

I have used it with success. Mostly I don't though because we have had chickens.
