MY NOTES
Frequently Asked Questions
| Is it possible to make it vegan? Yep, you can fill it up with sautéed onions and mushrooms or spiced mashed potatoes. To replace the egg in the filling, use a mixture of 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds + 1½ tablespoons water. Mix well in a bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. To replace the egg in brushing, just use oil. |
