Does the flax meal and water take the place of eggs?? If so can I use eggs and how many? Thanks for posting all these recipes.
In general, if you see 1 Tbs. flax meal + 3 Tbs. water, that is a replacement for 1 egg. Yes, you can use eggs in replacement. Enjoy!
In the directions it doesn’t list when to add the vanilla…
Thanks for the comment–I have corrected the recipe. Add vanilla with the milk. Please let me know what you think of these!
