Yum! It doesn’t taste exactly like butter, but it is a fit replacement. When used in cooking as a hint flavor in replace of butter you can’t even tell the difference. This stuff can probably be found at most reasonably sized grocery stores and is non-hydrogenated (no trans fat)! It has 50% less fat fat and calories than regular margarine, zero carbs, and contains Omega 3 (which is a tad difficult to obtain in a vegan diet). According to the container, it is also supposed to “improve cholesterol”. It actually says “Vegan” on the container, and by looking at the back it appears to be true.

Vegan Funnelcake
“1 1/3 cups flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp baking powder
Ener-G Egg Replacer equal to 1 egg
1 1/3 cups soy milk (or whatever kind you have)
1 tsp vanilla
oil, for frying
Mix up egg replacer, add soy milk and vanilla. In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix. You should have a batter about the same consistancy as pancake batter so it will flow easily through the funnel.
Fill 8″ skillet with 1″ oil and heat to 375 degrees. A smaller electric skillet works great for this – keeps the temp. even but whatever you have will work fine.
Cover funnel hole with finger and fill with about 1/4 cup of batter. Hold funnel over skillet and remove finger, moving the funnel around back and forth or in a spiral – you want the batter to stick together so don’t spread it out too much or you won’t be able to flip it in one piece.
Fry 1-2 minutes on each side, turning with tongs, until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. Serve hot! “

Pizza! I personally would have added some tomato sauce … but it looks good anyway! Just letting you know, the song in the background is a bit odd …
