- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it bloom for about 1 minute.
- Stir until the mixture thickens slightly and is fully combined.
- Use quickly in place of one egg in recipes that don’t rely heavily on lift.
Notes
- Use case: Gelatin eggs work best in recipes where eggs provide structure, such as cookies, bars, and some muffins.
- Not for all recipes: This substitute does not work well in recipes that rely on eggs for lift, such as cakes or fluffy baked goods.
- Texture: Baked goods made with a gelatin egg may be slightly denser or firmer.
- Use right away: For best results, use the gelatin egg soon after mixing.
- Vegan option: Agar can sometimes be used instead of gelatin, but results may vary depending on the recipe.
