    It's awesome. Much better than other egg replacers. I use this measurement: 1 T ground flax to 1/4 C water, start with boiling water, and don't add it to the recipe until it has cooled completely. Sometimes I put it in the freezer for a few minutes to get the right consistency! - 7/6/08

    Thank you SO much for this simple recipe! We have been going through at least 1.5 dozen eggs/whites a week and even considering getting chickens of our own, until last night when I cracked open an egg and it came out all bloody. Ugh. Reminded me of why I had previously been vegan for almost 15 yrs - 2/5/10

    Using warm water and letting the flax/water mixture sit for at least 5 minutes will make it come together and be sort of "gloopy". I found it works much better if you follow these tips. I love using this rather than Ener-G becuase flax does seem to work better. More nutritious too! - 6/13/08

    I use this all the time. Warm water works better though. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. - 3/25/13

    more specifically, 1 1/2 teaspoon of egg replacer to 2 tablespoons of luke warm water and stir until entirely disolved for best results. - 2/28/11

    I was so excited when I saw this egg substitute. I used it to make vegan carob cookies. It worked very well and tasted good too! I will definately be using this recipe from now on!!! - 11/23/08
