Flax Mix (Flaxseed)

An egg substitute-best replacing 1 egg rather than 2.Baked good will be heavier and denser because it is a binder and moisturizer rather than a leavening agent.

Ingredients:

• 3 teaspoons flaxseed or flaxseed meal
• 1 cup boiling water

Directions:

1. Grind seeds into fine powder with coffee grinder or use flaxseed meal.
2. Whisk into boiling water, remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes.

*1/4 cup flax mix equals 1 large egg.
