What should you do if you only have 1 egg and a recipe calls for 2?

Answer 1

If a recipe calls for 2 eggs but you only have 1, you can try substituting the missing egg with another ingredient that can provide similar binding properties. Common egg substitutes include mashed bananas, applesauce, yogurt, or buttermilk. However, keep in mind that the final texture and taste of the dish may be slightly different when using these substitutes. Alternatively, you may consider adjusting the recipe to make a smaller batch that only requires 1 egg.

Answer 2

Well, darling, if a recipe calls for 2 eggs and you only have 1, you have two options: either cut the recipe in half or find a different recipe that only requires 1 egg. It's not rocket science, just basic math and common sense. Happy baking, you resourceful little chef!

Answer 3

buy more eggs cause if u use 1 the recipe might not work

Another Answer:

Use the single egg. If it is extra-large or jumbo size, don't worry about adding anything else. Your egg is large enough to do the job.

Now, if your egg is small, medium or large size, the substitution depends on the function of the egg in the recipe.

In baked goods, such as cookies and simple cakes, add 2 Tbs. water and 1 Tbs. vegetable oil. Alternatively, you could MASH half a banana to replace one egg, provided the taste would work with the recipe.

If the egg is thickening, such as in a sauce or custard, add 2 Tbs. cornstarch and 1 Tbs water.
