I used to make them this way but there is a much better way that yields a better result! 1T flax meal 1T melted (hot) vegan butter (I use Earth's Balance). 1T cold began milk (I use soy milk) in a small container (jar, measuring cup etc.) add flax meal. add hot butter and mix. Allow flax to obsorb the butter which will cause it to gel a bit. Takes about 30 seconds to 1 min. Stir in cold milk. substitute for egg in any recipe. Even works for french toast!
