How to Make Cornstarch Paste Egg Substitute

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until completely smooth. No lumps allowed!
  2. For a thinner paste, add an extra tablespoon of water. For a thicker paste, use a bit less water. Experiment to find your perfect consistency!
  3. Gently heat the mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  4. The paste will begin to thicken as it heats. Continue whisking until it reaches your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. Always stir gently before adding to your recipe, as the cornstarch will settle.
  6. This versatile paste can be used as a vegan egg replacement in many recipes, adding thickness and shine.
