What can I substiute for eggs
Hi Indra,
There is no egg substitute for this recipe, however, you could try this pastry recipe which does not use eggs.
600g plain flour
360g unsalted butter
60g sugar
60ml vegetable oil
75ml water
1/2 tsp salt
Method
To make pastry, put all ingredients except flour in a pot. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Continue boiling till foam subsides and colour darkens. Alternatively, weigh pot and contents before heating, then boil till weight is reduced by about 65g.
Turn off heat. Tip flour into pot. Mix thoroughly and leave till just cool enough to handle. Knead to make sure mixing is even, adjusting with 1-2 tbsp water if mixture is crumbly, or 1-2 tsp plain flour if sticky. Divide into little balls weighing 11-12g each.
