Any Home Bakers Here?

I have stumbled across this lovely 'little' thread and have skimmed though some of the recipes. I enjoy cooking and baking and tend to stress bake for some strange reason.

The reason I posted something was to ask you guys a question. What is your go to recipe for using eggs?

My bantams laying has picked up and so has my muscovies. My standard chickens are just now starting to lay too. Soon I'll be over run with eggs! What recipes you use with an abundance of eggs to go through?

angel food cake with lemon curd. Extra yolks added to scrambled eggs

Welcome!

 

[TheBeardie]

scrambled but you can freeze them for leaner times also
do you have people to sell them to

I do give dozens away to friends when production goes up. I've heard of freezing them before. How exactly to you freeze eggs? In muffin tins?

That seems perfect! The whites go the the cake and the yolks go to the curd. I'll have to break this out one day soon!

Thanks for joining us, it's always nice to have another baker around!

I like to make Challah bread with extra eggs. Or egg nog (we'll drink that any time of year).
Post #255 of 19800 (egg nog)

Guess my Challah bread recipe isn't in the thread. I'll have to remedy that.

Be sure to use the link in the very first post to see the Index, tons of recipes there!

Bread pudding and custards use lots of eggs. Easter is coming, and the churches usually have a breakfast. Your eggs will be a blessing!!
Even brown eggs can be painted if your community has an egg decorating event.
For freezing, ice cube trays are the right size. Add salt for cooking, sugar for baking. Unfortunately, I forget the amounts.
I used to make omelette shells (or complete omelettes), and stack them between paper. It made breakfast faster, and I could always break it up for scrambled eggs.

Pre-cooking omelettes sound like a good idea! Do you freeze yours or refrigerate them?

When I have excess eggs, I make pound cake, cheesecake, french silk pie, cheese souffle and deviled eggs.
Tapioca pudding is really good with an extra egg or 2 in it.
I would like to try making lemon curd or custard sometime. Schaum tortes uses alot of egg whites and would be really good with custard and strawberries.

I freeze them unmarked. It’s fun not knowing what kind of omelette you’re going to get. “Life is like a freezer of omelettes...”
