lloyd Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hi, I wondered what people prefer for pancakes, fresh laid today eggs, or slightly older ones? I know I prefer a day or two old for frying, as fresh out the box seem to be too runny. Does it matter for pancakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorbloodnock Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Personally, I've never had an issue with the eggs being whatever age, so I'd go for the oldest you've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I tend to use older eggs for baking- and fresher eggs for poached eggs as they seem to hold together better when fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 DD has crepe/pancakes every morning and OH has poached eggs we try frantically to keep up to date with eggs so ours are at the oldest 3 days old ,so can only compare just laid to that but notice no difference.

Lesley Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I always use the oldest eggs and have no problems with the pancakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 The only thing I ever have problems with is hard boiled eggs which don't peel too well if they are fresh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
