A simple and effective way to make a vegan egg substitute using flaxseeds and water.
Grind the flax seeds into a fine powder using a blender.
Grinding the flax seeds ensures a smoother texture in the final gel.
Combine the ground flax seeds with water in a saucepan.
Stir well to prevent clumps from forming.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a gel-like consistency.
Keep an eye on the mixture to avoid overcooking, which can make it too thick.
Remove from heat and let the gel cool completely before using.
Cooling allows the gel to set properly, enhancing its binding properties.
