Question about Egg Replacer

702 Views 3 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  GhostUser,

I have so many recipes for different homemade veggie, bean and grain burgers but not one of them calls for egg replacer in the recipe. I find this weird, when ever I make burgers at home and follow the recipe they fall apart so as a result I have started putting egg replacer in them and they are great, so firm and they never fall apart. IS there any reason that recipes do not call for egg replacer, I don't understand it, it makes such abig difference?

My best success with veggie burgers has been with vital wheat gluten to hold them together. (recipes on bryannaclarkgrogan.com) Egg replacer (as in Ener-G or other brands of starch + gums + leavener) probably isn't necessary for most veggie burgers -- cornstarch would work just as well. Commercial egg replacer is really designed for baking.

If it works for you, though, great!
