I made meringue with orgran egg replacer, pectin & icing sugar. IT ROCKED!! Squirt of Soyatoo & berries - it's been such a long time and I never thought I'd every taste meringue again. Seriously - amazing!!

What proportions did you use? I'd be curious to try it.

Recipe is on the Orgran box, but I didn't actually think it would work! It was 90g of replacer, 1tsp pectin, cup of water. Whisk on high for 5 mins. Add 125g icing sugar. Whisk on high for 5 mins. It froths and increases in volume. Then bake for 2hrs at 110degrees C.
I'd never come across this brand of the egg replacer until last week.

Huh! I've never heard of it either.

Interesting! I wonder how you would go about making say, a lemon meringue pie? I'd be interested to experiment with it. Is Orgran a powdered egg replacer?

Yes - powdered. You can Google Orgran No Egg and see. I don't normally use egg replacer as I don't really find I need it for cakes etc, but I picked up a box of this as I hadn't tried it before and I was curious if it had that chalky taste.

It is very similar to ener-g. Ener-g usually isn't available in Europe/Australia but orgran is.

I actually had vegan meringue last week, made out of soy protein powder and it was awesome. I have yet to make it myself but I might just have to try this as well.
