Single hen

Can someone point me in the direction of a scone recipe. I'm not really a baker (except bread) and I need something that I can use eggs for.

Any other suggestions as to what I can do with 70 eggs greatly appreciated. Only 10 houses where I live and nearly all are farms with chickens so can't really sell them.

I make Delias ones - in fact I made a batch yesterday & am doing another lot today

[..lay a little egg for me]

Hmm, scones don't use many eggs though! Some recipes don't have any. How about the famous lemon drizzle cake? Ice cream? Any of the fatless sponge cakes use a lot of eggs as the eggs make up for the lack of butter.

 

Today I am going to make red nose cup cakes for DS to sell at school on Friday which will use quite a few eggs.

The yoghurt cake listed on this forum uses 3 eggs and is quick and easy to make.

Lemon curd

 

I am making a lemon drizzle cake today from the tv programme "something for the weekend". If you google Something for the weekend and go to recipes youll see it. Uses Lemon curd in the middle too that you could make.

 

You could keep the shells (blow them) and decorate for easter for an easter tree.

 

Muffins - very easy no electric mixing required and can be frozen

 

Cub cakes - easy. I just put all the ingredients in and beat together (if need a recipe I have a nice one). You could make loads and freeze.

 

Quiches

 

Will have a think!

Quiches are a doddle.

You can get the pastry bases from a supermarket.

Just dd what you fancy - fried pancetta, courgette etc, then add 3-4 eggs beaten with a little milk,seasoning & a handful of grated cheese.

Bake in the oven for about 25 mins.

 

Courgette & parmesan is nice, as is pancetta, cheddar & cherry tomato.

Gary Rhodes's bread and butter puddinguses 8 egg yolks and is delish.

 

I generally make pavlova or something with some of the whites too.

 

Jamie Oliver does a stuffed bread ring recipe that uses 12 hard boiled eggs. It's in his Happy Days book and probably online somewhere.

 

Also, rich toad in the hole (2-3 eggs), yorkshire puddings, egg fried rice (4 eggs in my house).

pancakes?

 

Wasnt there a recipe of here somewhere recently that used a massive amount of eggs?

 

How do you end up with that many?

8 chickens and only two of us and they're pretty much laying full on at the moment. I got pure breeds as they weren't supposed to lay as many but they lay pretty much every day.

Neither of us are really cake eaters but were going to have to start I think.

 

So yesterday the chickens had 12 close to used by date boiled eggs with sweetcorn for tea.

I made scones, snickerdoodles, lemon curd, and muffins and today will be quiches I think.

 

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I stumbled on the recipe that I read on here that used loads of eggs and it was some icecream (think it was 8 yolks).

 

Think its on the "honey icecream" thread.

 

Lucky you having that many all laying - youll have to start making lemon curd and selling it.
