Ingredients

Makes one flax egg

1 tablespoon whole, raw flax seeds

3 tablespoon cold water

Directions

Place flax seeds in a grinder (or a blender) and process into a very fine powder.

In a small bowl add flax meal, followed by water, stirring well as you go. A fork works better than a spoon.

Refrigerate for 15 minutes, but 1 hour is best. There’s no skipping this step. The flax eggs needs to set, get thick and sticky (something similar to egg whites).

When it reaches this gluey state the flax egg will act as a binder, just like egg whites.
