If the picture above is any indication, you didn’t grind the flax, yet the recipe, 1T flax /3T water, calls for it and makes a world of difference. Before you ad water, use a coffee grinder, a blender with a “seeds and nuts” blade, or even a “bullet” style blender with a seed and nuts type blade, and grind the flax seeds into a fine powder. What the flax seed doesn’t bring to the table as far as an egg substitute is concerned is as a macro-fatty component, so consider a little extra oil. Also remember that the longer the flax sits it gets gooey and will gellify, so if it is going to sit or cook for long add a little more water.

Side note concerning Irish Moss and Carrigeenan: Don’t ONLY eat and drink carrageenan like the rats did, or yes your innards will fill with gel, and that can’t be good. Have a salad, or some oatmeal. Enjoy variety.

i don’t think carrageenan is a good substitute considering it is considered a “possible carcinogen” see page 11 of the report.
