Anyone ever made donuts without eggs? How about latkes? Is there any egg substitute that you use? Which brand?

I posted an egg-free, pareve recipe in the Channuka section.

As for latkes - I make the same as my potato kugel - potatoes shredded in the food processor, onions: pureed in food processor, salt and pepper (and a pinch of sugar) - mixed together the dropped by the spoonful into hot oil. Let completely brown on one side, then flip and brown on other side. Let drain on brown paper. I prefer yallow or idaho potatoes as they get very soft and cooked through quickly.

These latkes also freeze well and reheat in the oven nicely. If you plan on frezzing them - make them a little thicker.

you can make doughnuts with a challa dough. flour, water, yeast.
when they are fried, you can roll them in sugar.

I make latkese teh same way my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother etc do/did. I shread the potatoes and onions, add salt and pepper and a bit of flour and a pinch of baking powder. I don't ahve amounts since as my mother says you know you put in the right amount of lofur by the feel of the drag on your arm when you mix the batter. I was so happy my first Chanukah married when my latkes tasted just like my mom's.

nope - they stick together just great! Eggs are a stretcher - IMO not nec. Kugel is fabulous - eggy ones are a little lighter, but this one tastes like potato are we like it better!

Sopaipillas
1 3/4 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. shortening
2/3 c. cold water
oil for frying
powdered sugar or honey for coating
Mix first 5 ingredients. Knead until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out on lightly floured board to 1/8" thick. Cut into 2" squares or oblongs. Heat about 1" of oil in a pot. Drop in sopaipillas, a few at a time. They will puff up quickly. Fry until light brown on both sides. Gently lift out and drain on paper. While still warm, put into a bag of powdered sugar and shake well or pour honey on top.

Hi
there's a company called energy - o
or s/t like that which makes lots of food for gluton free they also have a egg-replacer powder but
for latkes I think you should use apple sauce instead
(I'ver heard also of replacing egg with mashed banana for baking)
good luck!
