Kim, we're happy to hear you are so eager to make this pie crust! The Instant ClearJel is an optional ingredient; it helps the crust hold it's structure a bit more and makes it easier to handle. This is a product that is sold directly from us, but if you are not ready to place an order, feel free to skip this ingredient. As for an egg replacer, we recommend using Golden Flax Meal blended with water. You can check out our blog post on Making a Homemade Egg Replacer for more detailed instructions. Happy baking!
