Egg substitutes

Aug 7, 2009 Author: Susan | Filed under: LifeTips

There are two types of egg whites’ substitutes – liquid and powered. Liquid egg whites are regular eggs minus the yolk. Take 2 Tbs. of liquid egg whites if a recipe calls for one egg white.

Powdered egg whites can be fat-free. To use, mix with water or both until needed thickness is achieved.
