Notes

Tag: Egg-free. Wet options also work (vinegar or lemon juice + baking soda, yeast, banana, applesauce, mayonnaise, gelatin, commercial substitute), as does a refrigerated liquid substitute made with 6 egg whites, which is not egg-free. Replace no more than 2 eggs per recipe; taste or texture may change.
