What should you do if you only have three eggs and a recipe calls for four?

Depends on what you are making. For baked goods I would probably add 1/4 cup of liquid, whatever the recipe call for normally and 1 teaspoon of oil. For puddings, or something where the egg is a thickening agent I would add 1-2 teaspoons of corn starch or flour. Some things you are just out of luck, some things you can reduce the dry ingredients.

∙ 6y agoThat will depend upon what the recipe is for. If it is for baked goods, the SheKnows website has some suggestions:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. (If all you have is sweetened, adjust the sugar in the recipe.)
- 1/4 cup mashed banana
- 1 Tablespoon ground flax seed + 3 Tablespoons water. Mix until water is absorbed.
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil. But only to substitute one egg in a recipe.
- 2 Tablespoons water + 1 teaspoon oil + 2 teaspoons baking powder. Whisk together.

For most recipes the size of egg used is not critical, especially for recipes that use only a small number of eggs. Use 3 medium eggs in place of 3 large eggs. If the recipe called for 6 large eggs and you only had small eggs, then seven may be needed.
