Question Baking Question

What size egg should be used in recipes for baked goods? Is there a rule? I once heard that large was the size to be used. I wonder because lately I've been using extra large eggs and I think my products aren't turning out like they used to.

Of course, I'm not baking Core things.....just the special stuff for Christmas. I thought one of you might be able to help me.

I always thought large eggs were the "standard" size for baking. It's the size I always buy, unless mediums are on super sale.

I agree with Angela -- standard is Large eggs. Of course Brown is better than white

You're kidding, right? The only differences between white and brown eggs are the color of the shell and the breeds of chickens that lay them.

I think she was saying they were better because she thought they were prettier...not that the egg inside was any different.

New England humor...............

There was an ad campaign that always ran -- I think it might actually still run.

Now, I'm singing this one....

"Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh"

Where do the white eggs at Easter come from???
