Three to one mix as mentioned by another commenter. Works great. We also use unsweetened applesauce for that same use. You can't make scrambled eggs with it but can use it in other ways. :) I can half pints of applesauce just for that use. Thanks for the reminder as I think I need to get some more flax meal. It is available all over. The applesauce can also be used as a substitute for oil in recipes if you want.<br />Years ago we had a friend who got I think it was bronchitis all the time. It was some sort of common viral infection. When they mentioned this to their vet he said their dog could be a carrier for it. They thought him bonkers but had him tested and he was. I wish I could be sure now of what the problem was. The vet said it was not uncommon for dogs though to infect people with it so vets must know about it. <br />Several years back when we had this bird problem they killed most of our friends chicken flocks and most of the crows in our area died. Also they killed all the show birds and all other birds as they went door to door looking for any birds. All had to go. Thank you Brenda for all the information you share with us. It is always something...Was that what Gilda Radner used to say? :-) Oh Granny Miller has a link on her blog for how to glass eggs or whatever that old fashioned way of preserving eggs was.

Haven't tried it yet. <br /><br />Love crazy cake any way you slice it! <br /><br />I can see where ground flax could be used in place of eggs for baking. It gets almost gelatinous after mixing it with water and letting it stand a few minutes. BTW, I never worry about putting flax seeds in the freezer. Ours stay great for a long time. They are a grain! Now if one bought ground flax, I would freeze that. Just saying. ☺️ Pam (SD)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-12896808053546479292015-06-14T16:09:22.412-04:002015-06-14T16:09:22.412-04:00Here is a solution for baking needs, if short on e...Here is a solution for baking needs, if short on eggs...we use it along with some in our family who need to avoid eggs (and I am one of those)...take ground flax seeds and for 1 egg, mix 3 T. Ground Flax Seeds to 3 T. water. Let sit while mixing other ingredients...maybe 15 minutes or so...then add as you do eggs. Healthy too!! Just be sure to keep the ground flax seeds in fridge or freezer...I keep mine in freezer. It will not help you when you just want a fried or scrambled egg...but it works relatively well for baking. This problem if it continues will affect prices of so many other foods eventually too...hopefully it will be over soon. Only takes 4-6 months to get a chick to laying stage fortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-3330424705187739932015-06-14T05:53:31.288-04:002015-06-14T05:53:31.288-04:00I've never heard of powdered or dried eggs.

I buy a box (yep, a box!) of eggs a month because we don't eat a lot of egg yolks so I will use 2 egg whites and 1 egg yolk for a breakfast portion per person. I also bake with coconut flour which uses a lot of eggs. My brain is doing jumping jacks trying to figure out how we would survive without eggs. :-) God would provide... for this I am sure! I would love to raise a few chickens if the feed bags weren't so heavy.

Hope that it can be contained, though it is devastating for chicken farmers who are losing their birds and livelihoods. Glad that my niece has hens, though she uses all the eggs...stiil, in a pinch, I might prevail upon her for an egg. I do have some dried egg powder...phew. Interesting discussion about whether animals and humans can share germs. Hmmmm...that's scary. There's enough going on in the world to keep a person looking up that's for sure. Off to find a good whacky cake recipe.

You have so much wisdom and common sense and I appreciate the new information you share with us as to how to gracefully be prepared regardless of what kind of circumstances we find ourselves in. There is always something new we can learn. <br /><br />As for eggs, besides buying dried egg there are also some very good egg replacer items that work well in baking. I am intolerant to egg (a chemical reaction, not an allergic reaction) so I bake for us using the egg replacer by Bob's Red Mill. Its soy based, but there are others out there to try. They are shelf stable for a long time, but I usually keep mine in the freezer. There are also pantry items you can combine to use in place of eggs. Not quite the same, but they do work.<br /><br />Thank you for the Crazy Cake link! You gave it out once before and I lost it so this time I'm going to print and bookmark so I don't loose them. I have the one for chocolate but want to try the others for a change. <br /><br />I hope that Victoria's paw is feeling better. Its so hard when the critters aren't feeling well.<br /><br />God bless, MarshaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
