Yesterday, after a long hiatus, I brought out my EnerG Egg Replacer to add to the Chebe rolls I was making.  The box was not labeled that clearly on what you needed for 1 egg.  It has egg whites and yolks but no egg.  So here are the directions/equivalents for the egg replacer:

One Egg = 1 1/2 tsp Egg Replacer to 2 tbsp of water. To replace egg whites use the same amount as replacing the entire egg, so One Egg White=1 1/2 tsp Egg Replacer to 2 tbsp of water. To replace the egg yolk stir 1-1/2 tsp Egg Replacer into 1 tbsp of water.

I also found this, which I thought was hugely interesting:

What is a good substitute for eggs?

Ener-G Egg Replacer - follow directions on box.
2 tbsp corn starch = 1 egg
2 tbsp arrowroot flour = 1 egg
2 tbsp potato starch = 1 egg
1 heaping tbsp soy powder + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg
1 tbsp soy milk powder + 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water = 1 egg.
1 banana = 1 egg in cakes.

Btw, the Chebe rolls were fine in taste, but were white instead of the usual yellow colour it gets from the eggs.
