Probably a stupid question BUT......

id rather ask it on here rather than on MSE........

I want to do some baking and have eggs from the local farm which in the past have all been double yolkers.

If I have a double yolk egg is it still 1 egg or is it 2 eggs? :scratch:

don't quote me but I think it could be 2 ....if they're really big

i find the best way is to weigh them

not much help i'm afraid

If the eggs are all more or less the same size, then I would count it as 1 egg, the mix will just be richer, there's probably less white.

how much does an average egg weigh?

See I told you it was a stupid question!!!

I'm sure whatever you make will be extra yummy.

I had chips, egg and beans for tea tonight - it would have been even nicer with double yolkers!

Around 2 ounces? If you're making sponge cake you're supposed to use the same weight of flour, marg, sugar and eggs and the standard mix is 4oz/4oz/4oz/2 eggs, so a med egg is 2oz. Or 56g approx.

Thank you

yes i always thought it was two ounces. i have one bantam chicken...the rest were eaten by a polecat this winter...and she lays very tiny eggs...so i usually use two of her eggs in place of 1 shop bought egg.

I'm sorry to have to say this but i think that there is ...................
no such thing as a stupid question
