Cornflour as an egg substitute?

[Berkanan]

I read online somewhere that cornflour and water can be used as an egg substitute.

How would one go about doing this? I can't find the article anywhere D;

Thanks

I have not heard of using cornflour as an egg substitute, but I have heard of cornstarch and water as an egg substitute. Here is a website that describes the many different ways to substitute for eggs:

I have also made an omelette using chickpea (besan) flour and water and added spices and vegetables into it. Chickpea flour has a savory, eggy taste to it. Tofu with turmeric and other spices scrambled makes a nice egg substitute also.

Hope this helps!

In the UK and Ireland corn starch is sold as cornflour, what Americans think of cornflour then is probably polenta or hasina mesa (don't think I spelt that right!). But yeah I have heard of cornflour being used as an egg substitute, both dry and disolved in water but I've never used it myself.
