What's your opinion about mixing egg replacers in the same recipe?
Answer
Oftentimes you get a Best result by mixing egg replacers. So sometimes I will hydrate Chia actually using aquafaba instead of water. Almost always when you're talking about Chia or Flex eggs understand that they bind they don't live in. So I use a bit more leavener and I'm talking about baking powder and baking soda. I mean living is really interesting to me because when I Left the traditional pastry kitchen. I was working as a traditional pastry chef. I was trained traditionally and then I wanted to do more. You know, I wanted to do all vegan. I became I became a vegan there were no commercially available egg replacers at the time. No, one had heard of a Chia egg or a flax egg certainly not aquafaba. So my egg my Eggs, I didn't really you. I didn't use any of that and I looked historically and when during wartime eggs were either not available or in very short supply. And so I looked at wartime recipes baking powder baking soda vinegar. I think vinegar really creates a tender mouth feel. So yes the short answer to that Kathy is yes. I think there is some benefit in using one or the other.
