Cornstarch as an egg substitution or replacement in baking

Posted by: tiffanypinkdog on: January 8, 2009

Just a short entry today. Eggs: I’ve been trying out substitutions for them in baked goods. I eat dairy, but I try to eat it in great moderation, so I am working on finding substitutes. There are all sorts of suggestions out there for egg substitutes, but I’ve been most pleased with cornstarch as a substitution. 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of water…mix it in a little cup, and you have an “egg” for baking!

I have recently been introduced to cornstarch. I figured out that the use this to coat tofu before frying it. I never knew you could use it as an egg. Good to know.

Tom is stoked by the idea of using it before frying tofu. He had never thought of that before!

Yes, I am very excited about this prospect.
