Another use for Flax

Did you know that you can use flax as an egg substitute? Just replace 1 egg in a recipe with 3 Tbsp ground flax seed and 3 Tbsp water. I do this in almost every multi-egg recipe I have!

Three tablespoons of ground flax (without the water) also replaces 1 Tbsp of oil.

Please do grind your flax fresh, as it rapidly goes rancid. Just throw it in your blender for a few seconds and whir!
