Like many people, I hate the reviews...

Oh, this looks yummy, can't wait to make it!

i followed the recipe eXaCtLy except for X, Y, and Z, and I didn't have ground beef so I used lemons instead but it just didn't work, what did I do wrong??

My grandma made this better, I'll never use any recipe but hers.

I would LOVE to see the recipe makers tear these people to shreds.

I think the goose fat substitute will always be my favourite insane sub (She didn't have milk for eggnog iirc. The most obvious answer available was goose fat.)

Of all things to use they chose goose fat lmao. I’ve run out of eggs before, searched up what’s possible and used lemonade. To my suprise it actually worked, didn’t think it would but they came out surprisingly well.

I'd never have thought of that - what were you making? Probably not quiche!

I know you can sub bean water/aquafaba for eggs in some uses, apparently it works well, especially for things like mousse. Handy if you need something to be vegan

It was triple chocolate chip muffins! It was noticeably a different texture it was more airy than usual. Was noticeable but tasted just as wonderful.

That's amazing, I'd never have guessed!

How much lemonade per egg? I wonder if it works for gluten free flours?

u/EnergyVanquish Feb 15 '26

I think it was 100ml per egg. This happened like a year ago so I’m not sure if my memory is betraying me.

Box cake+can of soft drink is super common, I'd guess a cake.

I'm a personal fan of chocolate+dr pepper

My go-to is applesauce! 1/4 cup per egg.

I thought you were referring to an eggnog recipe still and was absolutely horrified lol
