Have you ever wanted to make a half recipe of something but there are an odd number of eggs in the original? Me too. This tutorial is great for small batch recipes when you need less eggs due to recipe adjustments.
Take last week for example. I wanted to make these Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes to experiment with a new frosting recipe. But I did not want 30 cupcakes.
The original recipe calls for 3 eggs, which might seem problematic, but it really isn’t.
This method also works great if a recipe calls for an exact amount of egg, like 1 tablespoon egg.
Yes, it is possible to use half an egg! Now that you know that you can use half an egg, you might be wondering how you would know what half an egg is.
You can find this out by measuring the contents of the egg either by weight or by volume.
Typically one large egg contains about 3 tablespoons of egg (1 tablespoon of yolk and 2 tablespoons of white).
If you measure by weight, a single large egg usually weighs around 45 grams. You can weigh the contents of your egg on a kitchen scale to find your egg’s exact weight.
Now that you know the amount contained within an egg, you can easily measure out half an egg. Read on to find out how…

Not only does this tip apply to when you want to cut a recipe down, but it can also help you if you want to make more – perhaps not a double batch, but maybe 1 1/2 of a batch.
For instance, say the original recipe makes 1 dozen cupcakes and 3 eggs, but you need to bring 18 cupcakes to your child’s classroom party.
To convert this recipe to 18 cupcakes, you would multiple all of the ingredients by 1.5.
3 eggs x 1.5 = 4.5 eggs.
Now that you know how to measure a partial egg you can easily adjust this recipe. Just a little bit of math and measuring and you’ll be ready to go.

If you don’t need to measure a partial of the whole egg, and only need the egg white you can follow the above instructions using only the egg white to measure half and egg white (or a partial egg white in whatever amount you need).
If you’re using a large egg, you can keep in mind that the egg white usually measures approximately 2 tablespoons and that half of an egg white would be 1 tablespoon.
To divide the egg white in a different increment than by 1/2 I recommend weighing your egg white using a kitchen scale to find out the exact weight of your egg white and then doing the math from there (multiplying by .75 for 3/4, .25 for 1/4, etc).
The yolk of a large egg usually measures approximately 1 tablespoon. To use a partial egg yolk, you can measure out 1/2 tablespoon of an egg yolk for use in a recipe.
If your egg is a different size than the standard “large” egg, then follow the instructions above for measuring partial eggs to find out what half of a yolk would be.
To use a partial egg yolk in a different amount than 1/2, I recommend weighing your egg yolk using a kitchen scale to find out it’s exact weight.
Then, do the math from there (multiplying by .75 for 3/4, .25 for 1/4, etc).
