Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that you can substitute 2 tbsp of water, 1 tbsp of oil, and 2 tbsp of baking powder for an egg.

I also learned that you should not do this in a recipe meant for the microwave. Your cookie will explode into chocolate-chip foam all over the inside of the microwave.

Just thought you should know.

Your Restraining Order Defying Faithful Student,

PS: If you figured out how to make it reliably, you could totes put that shit on coffee. They do that these days, did you know that?

Eggs on coffee? What a waste of a perfectly good egg.

Ah, cooking calamities. How have I not burnt down my apartment yet?

This is why I mostly stick to eating out.

I believe it was a reference to chocolate chip foam being put on coffee, not egg being put on coffee.

Seriously? Why would you want to replace the egg?

[Rinnaul]

Reminds me of the time my sister tried to bake cookies by microwaving cookie dough.

Or the time I started a grease fire on a backyard charcoal grill.

Little interesting tip. If your making pancakes or something like it, and the recipe calls for egg, applesauce makes a really good substitute! I've done it and it tastes just as good.

Oh, like allergies?

2605870 Good plan.

Well, given that it's a foreign substance that causes an adverse physical reaction, I'd say yeah. o.o Never thought about that.

[JetstreamGW]

2605902 If it gives you a histamine reaction (rash, breathing difficulties, congestion) it's an allergy. If it gives you the runs, constipates you, or makes you throw up, it's an intolerance.

[Pascoite]

2605929 Or just a bad egg.

[JetstreamGW]

2606005 Well yes, obviously.

You can use an egg to keep loose coffee grounds from floating up into the water; it's called "cowboy coffee". :B The more you know?

[Super Trampoline]

2606005 Bad egg, Bad egg, whatcha gonna do...

I also learned that you should not do this in a recipe meant for the microwave. Your cookie will explode into chocolate-chip foam all over the inside of the microwave.

And we shouldn't do this... why?

Cuz it wasn't entirely cooked foam, for one. :B Also made the mug hard to hold without getting it everywhere.
