The Miracle Ingredient: Aquafaba
Aquafaba mimics the proteins in egg whites, allowing it to trap air and hold structure. It's a game-changer for allergy-friendly baking.
Tips for Success
- Reduce it: Simmer the liquid from the can to reduce it by 1/3. This concentrates the proteins for a stronger hold.
- Clean Equipment: Just like egg whites, any trace of grease will prevent whipping. Wipe your bowl with lemon juice.
- Cream of Tartar: Essential for stabilizing the foam.
- Patience: Aquafaba takes longer to whip than eggs—up to 10 minutes!
