Perk:

What I've been trying to convince you to try is Soy Flour....a heaping tablespoon plus a tablespoon of water, for baking.

No way can you make scrambled egss or whatever from it, but for baking it's great. I get mine from the bulk bins at my grocery store; it's not a health foods place either. It should also be available packaged in the baking aisle.

The fifth bullet on this egg subsitute list is soy flour/water.

I learned about this in the Tightwad Gazette, but I've seen it a lot of other places now.

Lux, thanks for the link, never knew they had dried eggs ;like they have dry milk!

Lr you must have a cooler store than I do! No bulk bins whatsoever...

very interesting link for replacing eggs.

I'll email dh (he will remember) look for soy flour hope we find some.

Re: where do you get the egg powder

Wow, no bulk bins at all? Bum deal! My place is called WinCo-it's focus is big and cheap, not at all alternative or "cool", but, they have rows and rows of bulk bins. For example, at least 5 types of pasta, teas (bagged), dried fruits, grains, spices, soup mixes, seasoning mixes, beans, cocoa, four or five sugars (brown, powdered, turbinado, raw, regular), candies, a whole bunch of sugar free candies, great stuff. Not always cheaper than bagged (flour, for example), but we do a lot of bin shopping. Good luck on the soy flour!

Here's an egg replacement recipe. Interesting.

Also some folks use ground flaxseed as a replacement for eggs.

I'll second the soy flour as a perfectly fine substitute for eggs when baking. I save my fresh eggs now for times when we're actually eating eggs for breakfast or something.

I was at Vons today and saw powdered egg whites in the baking aisle.

Here is the link to what I use

http://beprepared.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_FS+D120_A_name_E_Whole+Eggs

As a side note..this is a very large can. The size of the large coffee cans. I bought two quite a few years ago. I've only opened one and even after a nearly a year of trying to remember to use it as often as I can, I'm only 1/2 way through it. I just keep it in the frig. It's been a life saver on my three months no grocery shopping challenge!

I'll look tonight and see how many dozen eggs its equal too...but I tell you right now...lots! Two tablespoons equals one large egg.

It works wonderful in all recipies and as scrammbled eggs. The only thing I haven't used it in are recipies that want you to whip things to soft peaks. They ship and have lots of other useful things for long term storage if you want to look.

Thanks for the links!

Re: where do you get the egg powder

I have ordered and been quite satisfied with the products from Emergency Essentials in the past. My favorites are the carrot dices and celery dices as they are VERY NICE to have on hand for making the occasional soup. If I buy celery it invariably goes bad before I can use it up. This way I can just grab what I need, return the lid and go on my merry way. And the next time I need celery, it's just right there on the shelf!

Good company.
