In reply to Paulette greer. You'll need a lot more cornstarch.

In reply to Steph. You combine the same amount of seeds and then add double that amount of hot water. Let the seed/water mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it gels. Then, add it into the recipe.

In reply to Lisa. I want to use ground flax or Chia. Do you know the ratio ? The recipe calls for 1/4 tsp gum Thanks

In reply to Olivia. I don't use gelatine as a sub. I prefer to use glucomannan powder instead which works well in about the same amount.

Do you perhaps have substitution amounts for xantham gum? For example, how much gelatine is needed if a recipe states a 1/4 tspn xantham?
