One egg short....?!


Question:

One egg short....?

I have 2 large eggs, the cake mix box calls for 3.... is there anything i can do? thanks!


Answers:
Stuff around your kitchen:
1 whole egg = 2 tbsp water + 1 tbsp oil + 2 tsp baking powder

1 egg = 2 tbsp water + 2 tsp baking powder

I seem to run out of eggs all the time when I am baking. I substitute about 1/4 cup of melted butter. Works great.

You can technically use 1 tsp. yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup warm water in place of one egg--but in general you don't want to deviate from baking instructions. It's definitely more of a perfect science than cooking is.

ADD ONE TSP OF MAYO

I'm sure the two eggs will do just fine.

Does it ask for 3 eggs or 3 large eggs?
If its 3 eggs, then 2 large eggs should be Ok.

i just have to say this
my husband is one egg short of a dozen.

please excuse me, but this was too tempting.

do not worry about it

put down the mouse leave your house, buy an egg and finish the job?!?!?!?!

honestly the current generation of americas education is slipping so low

your cake may not rise as much but using 2 eggs will not alter the taste.

add a little mayonaisse. I've made cakes with JUST mayo. It will work. If you're making chocolate cake it will have a devil dog cake kind of taste.

1/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 tsp baking powder. (Works best with muffins) If you dont use the 3rd egg your cake will be the consistancy of a brownie cake. Very dense so you need the baking powder to make it rise.

a table spoon of hellmans real mayo will do it.
