Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed (flaxseed meal)
- 2.5 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Measure out 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and place it into a small bowl or container.
Add 2.5 tablespoons of water to the ground flaxseed.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the ground flaxseed is evenly moistened.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes. The flaxseed will absorb the water and form a gel-like consistency resembling a raw egg.
