Arras, that's a good question! Flax meal is a great egg substitute in things like quickbreads, but it won't help a pumpkin pie or other custard specifically. While we haven't made an egg-free pumpkin pie in our test kitchen here at King Arthur flour, I can speak from my personal experience to recommend two tablespoons of cornstarch and one of agar. That should help your filling hold together a little better and avoid soupy a soupy pie. Happy baking! Kat@KAF
