How to Make a Flax Egg

It can be hard to find good substitutes in recipes for eggs, but this flax egg is easy to make and works well in most recipes. A flax 'egg' has the same effect in baking, it doesn't quite bind or stiffen in the same way as a regular egg, but is a good substitute for pancakes, biscuits and brownies.

• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed 
• 2 1/2 tbsp water

All you need to do is mix the two together and leave to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Use in recipes in place of 1 medium egg.
