Title: GMG Chefs Corner
Post by: mahler10th on December 02, 2013, 12:43:00 PM
No, I am not a Chef and am not too hot a cook.  BUT...
I have a cluckful of eggs, and a bag of plain white flour...what can be made of them, and what extras will I need to make it?

Do you like french toast? Need bread and cream but that is pretty much it. Though maple syrup, cinnamon, fresh fruit, and/or vanilla are possible additions as well (before or after, depending on the ingredient).

There is always scrambled eggs.

PS: You'll need butter for any of these (and probably most other choices too)...

there is so much you can make!  you could make bread just need some yeast and water. then make toast to have with your eggs. 

You could make fresh pasta with what you have.

You could make a fritter batter and make fritters.

You could make pancakes. or popovers (yorkshire pudding) you could make a muffin batter. 

there is so much you can do with just eggs and flour.

add chocolate and you can make brownies and cookies

Look for the book Ratio by Michael Ruhlman and you will be surprised how many things you can make with flour and eggs and understand how make those things without a recipe.
