What are whole eggs?

If a recipe calls for whole eggs - it means the yolk & the white (albumen). Some recipes ask for you to just use the yolks.

Which is better egg white or egg yolk?

If a recipe calls for "2 eggs," it means THE WHOLE EGG. If they want you to use the egg yolk only, it will say, "add the yolk of 2 eggs." If they want you to use the egg whites only, it will say, "separate the eggs and beat in the whites." To 'separate' an egg means to separate the yolk from the whites.


Can i forgo the eggs recipe for box cake calls for 3 egg whites i have no eggs and no applesauce what can i do?

A box cake calling for 3 egg whites would not rise properly without the egg whites. Applesauce is not a suitable substitute for egg whites. Possible solutions would be to borrow eggs from a neighbor, or prepare a different dessert using available ingredients.

Omit the yolks, and try using two egg whites per egg called for. The extra egg white will make up for the moisture lost in the omitted yolk. For instance, if the recipe calls for two eggs, use four egg whites.

Can you make sugar cookies with egg whites?

No you cannot! Egg whites will give you a better, light and sponge like texture. Using a whole egg will not give you the same result! So it's best to just whip your whites to stiff peaks and fold them into what ever your making for a better quality cake.


Can you substitute egg whites for whole eggs when baking?

It is not a good idea to substitute whole eggs for egg whites when baking! If you think about it, you will realize that it will change the entire consistency of your mix when you do that. If the recipe has called for egg whites, very probably it also says that the egg whites should be whipped until frothy, then folded into the batter. You cannot do that with the egg yolks present. The whole purpose of using egg whites ONLY is to make the batter light and fluffy. Egg yolks are more heavy, and cannot be whipped into a light, frothy consistency. {if the recipe does not state to beat the egg whites separately, it may be ok to substitute whole eggs, especially in recipes for cookies or brownies. In some of these recipes the whites only are used to reduce the fat and cholesterol content; in these cases, it's perfectly fine to substitute whole eggs, using 1 whole egg for every 2 whites called for.} Always try to follow the recipe EXACTLY. Changes and substitutions are always possible, but you need to learn when you can substitute an item. Sometimes you simply cannot make substitutions and still make what you want. If you want to make a nice, light, low-calorie salad for lunch, but you find that you do not have any lettuce, you cannot have a salad because there is no substitute for the lettuce! (Unless you happen to have other greens in the lettuce family, such as endive, spinach, radiccio, etc.) Substitute 2 egg whites for each whole egg. This substitution may make baked goods less tender. To compensate, try adding 1 teaspoon of oil per egg called for in recipe. This is just fine for cooking or baking cookies/cakes. When it comes for recipes where you have to whip the egg white, this would not be suitable. Otherwise, this substitution is just fine.
