Question

When a recipe calls for 2 eggs but when you crack it there are two yokes, does this count as 2 or 1

Answer 1

I would not use this egg in baking because it will alter the recipe because there are two yolks but insufficient whites.  It is not worth the chance of hindering your effort.

Answer 2

yes it counts as 2 eggs becuase of the yoke

Answer 3

I would count it as 1 egg because the eggs are sized without regard to what's inside the shell.  If you don't put in the second egg, you won't have as much moisture as the recipe needs.  A large egg measures roughly 1/4 cup liquid if that helps you decide.

If you were separating the eggs for the recipe, I'd count the yolks as 2 and the whites from that one as 1.

Answer 4

1.

I've always counted them as one, if you don't there'll be less egg whites than there should be
