There is an egg replacer called EnerG. It's made with potato starch. It's a box of powder and works pretty well with everything I've made. I find it at my health food store, but you're local grocery might have it as well. It's in the baking area. It may seem a bit costly but it lasts a long time.

Has anyone tried the powdered egg whites? I bought them nut havent used them yet. I was wondering if they would be better?
P.S. Emmasmom : I put a post the other day in recipes for a quick turkey sheppards pie. I was thinking of you since you have asked me before for quick and easy dinner. ..

Egg Substitutions: (substitutions equal one large egg)
-1 1/2 TBSP water, 1 1/2 tsp oil, 1 tsp baking powder; Mixed together. * This is the one I always use. It can make things a little more oily though.
-1 TBSP water, 1 TBSP balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp baking powder; Mixed together.
-1 tsp yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup of warm water
-1 packet unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 TBSP warm water

I haven't tried the yeast/warm water in breads. It should work just fine though. You make lots of breads with yeast. I always use the water/oil/baking powder substitution and there are lots of cakes that use the vinegar substitution.
I haven't gotten to try the alomond cake yet. I ran out of almond extract. I was getting ready to make it and I noticed I didn't have any, ugg. I plan on trying it soon. I think I might just try making a glaze out of some raspberry jelly in stead of making the sauce. (though the sauce sounds wonderful.) I'll let you know how it turns out.
