Whip together in a food processor or blender 1 and a half teaspoons powder and 2 tablespoons water. Sometimes 2-3 times as much powder in the same amount of water gives better results. I personally prefer Ener G Foods Egg Replacer to the other brands.
Texture/taste-wise, it is flavorless, won't affect the taste of the baked goods. Best suitable for all baked goods, especially Cookies.
