Egg Substitiutes

Egg Substitiutes

Eggs are used to bind a dish and, when whipped, may also incorporate air making a cake or pudding very light. Vegan egg replacement powders are available from health food shops. This can be useful, especially for tricky foods like meringues. However, many recipes can be adapted using one of the suggestions below. Just remember to bear in mind the final dish... you can't use banana as a substitute when making a quiche!

instead of 1 egg, you can use...

• 1 tbsp gram (chick pea) or soya flour and 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp arrowroot, 1 tbsp soya flour and 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp flour, 1/2 tbsp shortening, 1/2 tsp baking powder and 2 tsp water
• 50g tofu blended with the liquid portion of the recipe
• 1/2 large banana, mashed
• 50 ml white sauce

tips on raising agents...

• use self raising flour
• add extra oil and raising agent (e.g. baking powder)
• use about 2 heaped tsp baking powder per cake
• instead of baking powder, use 3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda and 1 dssp cider vinegar (good for chocolate cakes)
• try sieving the flour and dry ingredients, then gently folding in the liquid to trap air

alternative binding agents...

• soya milk
• soya dessert - vanilla, chocolate, strawberry...
• custard - see below
• mashed banana
• plain silken tofu
• soya cream
• sweet white sauce (soya milk, vegan margarine, sugar and cornflour)
• agar agar

Recipes

Batter

For savoury pancakes or deep frying combine soya flour, plain flour, vegetable oil, soya milk, baking powder and salt. For sweet pancakes, omit the salt and baking powder. Use as normal battter. It will keep for 1-2 days in fridge. See our pancake recipe just down the page.

Burgers won't fall apart without the egg. Use gravy, mashed potato, oil or yeast extract (e.g. Marmite or Natex) mixed with a little hot water to add moisture. Add breadcrumbs, flour or oats for a drier texture. See the rissole recipe further down the page.

Custard

Follow your usual recipe, but use soya milk and check the custard powder is vegan. Add a little vanilla essence to taste. Try our delicious chocolate banana custard cake at the end of the page.

Glazes

Brush with soya milk.

Mousse

Make your own creamy desserts using plain silken tofu, golden or maple syrup and a flavouring such as chocolate or lemon.

Pancakes

4 oz (115g) plain white or wholemeal flour
2 oz (55g) soya flour
13 floz (375 ml) soya milk

1. Sieve the flours into a bowl. Gradually whisk in the soya milk to make a smooth sauce, then mix in the oil. Place in fridge for 30 minutes.

3. Remove from pan and serve with sugar and lemon juice.

Other fillings include maple syrup, chocolate sauce, soya cream, soya ice cream, stir fry vegetables drizzled with peanut sauce, vegan cream cheese and herbs, tofu, leek and mushroom.

Add topping of your choice e.g. slices of orange or grated chocolate.

2. Make chocolate or coffee flavour "butter" icing using 6 oz (170g) of sieved icing sugar to 3 oz (85g) vegan margarine, plus flavouring. Use some of this to sandwich the cakes together, and the rest to decorate the top. Add plain chocolate drops, grated chocolate, chocolate covered coffee beans, vegan "cream", alcohol etc as desired!

Cranberry Scone Recipe

2 cups (280 grams) all-purpose flour

1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup (76 grams) cold unsalted butter

1/2 cup (50 grams) fresh cranberries, cut in half

1/3 cup (50 grams) mixed candied fruit and peel

2/3 - 3/4 cup (160 - 180 ml) milk (soya or other)

1/4 cup (25 grams) sliced almonds

Powdered (Confectioners or Icing) Sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) and place rack in middle of oven. Butter or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Gently stir in the cranberries and mixed fruit, making sure not to crush the berries. Add the milk and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.

Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll or pat the dough into a circle that is 8 inches (20cm) round and about 11/2 inches (3.75 cm) thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and then brush the scone with milk. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the scone into eight triangles and then sprinkle with the sliced almonds.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the scone comes out clean. Remove from oven and then turn your broiler on high. Sift confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar heavily over the top of the scone and place under the broiler. Broil for just a few seconds, turning the pan as necessary, until the sugar has melted and turns golden brown. Make sure to watch the scone carefully as the sugar will burn very quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. If desired, serve with Devon cream and/or your favorite jam.

Makes one large 8 inch (20 cm) scone.

SUBSTITUTO DA CLARA DE OVO EM RECEITAS

Dissolver 1 xícara de polvilho azedo em uma tigela com água. Coloque na panela e mexa, até dar o ponto de clara de ovo.
SUBSTITUTO DE LINHAÇA
PARA UM OVO

Linhaças (Sementes de linho) moídas substituem bem os ovos em panquecas, biscoitos, bolos e bolinhos. Leves, úmidas, fornecem ácidos graxos essenciais ômega-3.


Moê-las no liquidificador e guardá-las no freezer.


INGREDIENTES
1 colher de sopa de linhaças moídas (moa 1 xícara no liqüidificador e guarde o restante no freezer),
3 colheres de sopa de água pura.


PREPARO
Misture a farinha e a água em uma tigela pequena. Deixe descansar por 1 a 2 minutos (fica muito espessa se permanecer mais tempo).


Em algumas receitas bem líquidas as sementes de linhaça moídas podem ser agregadas diretamente aos componentes secos.


(Do livro "A Dieta Saudável dos Vegetais")

No buraco grande despeje o óleo. Nos pequenos, o vinagre em um e o açúcar vanile no outro. Despeje o suco por cima de tudo. Misture com a colher até a farinha de trigo não ser mais visível. Asse em forno moderado por 30 minutos.
