Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture vigorously with a fork or small whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. The consistency should be thick and paste-like, resembling the texture of raw egg whites.
Step 3
Use this mixture as a substitute for one egg in your recipe. For multiple eggs, multiply the ingredients accordingly, preparing each 'egg' substitution separately to ensure an even consistency.
Step 4
Incorporate the cornstarch paste into your recipe as instructed, whether mixing it into wet ingredients for baked goods or using it as a binder in savory dishes.
Step 5
Note: This egg substitute works best in recipes like cookies, cakes, muffins, or bread where binding and structure are the primary functions of eggs.
