apparently snow can be used as an egg replacer. freshly fallen snow or even slightly older snow has an ammonia content that acts as a good substitute as a leavening agent. my mom told me this tonight, we haven't tried it, and i'm unsure about the amount to use, but i'll test it out and post some recipes when i can.

so I went looking for more info, and saw this page had this to say:

"Snow can be used as an excellent substitute for eggs in puddings, pancakes, etc. Two heaping tablespoons snow will take the place of 1 egg, and the recipe will turn out equally well. Use fresh-fallen snow or the under-layers of older snow. The ammonia in snow imparts to its rising properties, and the exposed surface of the snow loses ammonia by evaporations very soon after it has fallen."

I'll refrain from the obvious "yellow snow" remarks.. but I'd be concerned with eating any snow that fell in any city... alot of pollution
