Everyday Uses For Milled Flaxseed
Flaxseed can also be used as a stand-in for some or all of the oil, shortening, etc., called for in a recipe. A 3:1 substitution ratio is recommended. For example, 3 tbsp of milled flaxseed added to a recipe can replace 1 tbsp of butter, margarine or vegetable oil.
NOTE: When flaxseed is used instead of oil, baked goods tend to brown more rapidly.
Vegetarian Baking
Flaxseed mixed with water can replace an egg in selected recipes, such as pancakes, muffins and cookies. These baked goods are gummier and chewier than usual, and the volume is decreased.
1 tsp milled flaxseed + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg
Mix milled flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit for one to two minutes. Add to the recipe as you would an egg.
NOTE: It is suggested that you test the recipe to see if it meets your expectations before preparing something for guests.
