Homemade Egg Substitute

One of the ingredients needed in my last recipe post was egg substitute, which can be very easily made with egg whites and instant nonfat dry milk powder. I have found that having dry milk powder in my pantry can be very helpful, especially in trying economic times. I also have to have it for my Chai recipe, which I make regularly for myself and to give as gifts.

Recipe: 
3 egg whites
2 tbsps. instant nonfat dry milk powder
1 tsp. water

Place the ingredients in a small bowl and whip with a fork until combined.

Yield: 1/2 cup or the equivalent of two whole eggs

I have used egg substitute in many recipes with great success, and it really helps with calorie counting and weight loss.
