• Cheap egg substitute in baking

    From Lenona@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 8 17:54:18 2025
    Soy flour and water! (That is, one tablespoon of soy flour and one
    tablespoon of water. Use more flour if you want.)

    But, do NOT use it in cookies - it won't work.

    From October, 2023:

    It's a good egg substitute in bread, muffins, pancakes, and maybe at
    least a few cakes that call for three whole eggs at the most. (It USED
    to be a lot cheaper than using eggs, but if it's becoming hard to find,
    that could mean the price would go up too.)

    I finally found a 1.87 lb. bag for $8.99 at a Japanese-Korean grocery
    that's just a 15-minute walk from my place.

    I'll have to keep it in the freezer after I open it, since there's no
    way I'm going to be baking enough times per week. But it's good to know
    I can buy fewer eggs in general.

    There were smaller bags of soybean POWDER next to it, but the price was
    just over $7 a pound. Clearly not worth bothering with.

    Soy flour weighs 142 grams per cup.

    So that makes just under 6 cups per bag - or 95.648 eggs.

    Or just under $1.13 for a dozen "eggs."

    (Aside from cookies, which I already mentioned, one clearly would not
    use this in, say, souffles!)

    Also, I recently made brownie pudding with real eggs and it was a big
    hit at my workplace, even though I accidentally put in too much cocoa,
    but since the recipe calls for four eggs, I doubt it's a good idea to
    use soy powder for that either! Just a warning.

    I've heard that tapioca starch can be used as a substitute for eggs.
    Dissolve 1 Tablespoon of tapioca flour into 3 T. of water. I haven't
    tried it - yet. I did try to use tapioca flour as a substitute for
    cornstarch to make haupia. Don't do it - it comes out all weird and
    gooey!

    I won't disagree with you on that. I'm talking about the future, when
    America is called the United States of Muskovia. By that time, eggs
    would be out of reach for the average Muskovian and egg substitutes will
    be completely normal. The good news is that we'll all be driving Teslas.
    The bad news is that they'll be rebadged 1970s Ladas.

    Luckily, one of Hershey's cookbooks has an eggless version for the
    dessert. If you like, feel free to reduce the sugar - it still tastes
    terrific that way!

    In their case, it's called "Hot Fudge Pudding Cake."

    Others call it "chocolate lava cake."

    there's some shortbread cookies that Mom makes that do
    not have eggs in them at all. they're still very good.

    4 or 5 ingredients, butter, flour, corn starch, powdered
    sugar (for 5 it is chocolate chips :) ).

    i usually am not eating breakfast right away. i try to
    do it more often, but don't always get it done until brunch.

    I believe Ed's point was that he's not going to use egg
    substitutes. I feel the same way.

    Eggs would have to get pretty damned expensive before I'd
    balk at making chocolate chip cookies because they have a
    couple of eggs in them. I think even $60/dozen would not
    keep me from my annual batch.

    Although at $60/dozen, I might ask my husband to rethink
    his breakfast.

    Grin, I like your breakfast substitute. I so rarely do cookies, it's
    not worth working out a substitute and I haven't used eggs in my bread
    making in a very long time. Yes, some breads do use eggs, just not my
    normal set.

    The only sweets I do regularily enough to be on any radar here, is
    apple pies to take advantage of my prolific trees. No eggs in that
    either <grin>

    Bought some eggs this morning. In the next few days I plan to back a
    cake that will use six of them 52 cents each today for X-large.

    Overall, still a cheap dessert. I never totaled the cost, but probably
    less than 50 cents a serving. You can't buy anything good that cheap.

    What is the mystery of the bagel? What makes it well suited for breakfast compared with the humble roll?

    This is true and you must be going a;; free range? That or our eggs
    are better priced? Ours are 41cents. They are coming down as expected
    and I may be pulling from a more recent lower price.

    I made bread today too. It's my buttermilk set which costs more but we
    like it. I made two one pound loaves. Cost to make both, 1.03 cents (buttermilk has gone up). Per lb loaf, 52cents (rounded up).

    Plain water breads or ones with 1/4cup milk (Read cheap bread at store)
    at 1lb are 2$ (or more). Make them for 26cents or 2lbs for 52cents.
