Short answer: one large egg equals about 13 g of whole egg powder plus about 38 ml (2 1/2 tbsp) of water. For everyday cooking, Rise’s directions are simpler: mix equal parts powder and water by volume, let it sit a minute, then cook it like beaten fresh eggs.
Conversion chart
| Fresh large eggs | Whole egg powder | Water |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 13 g | 38 ml (2 1/2 tbsp) |
| 2 | 26 g | 75 ml (1/3 cup) |
| 3 | 39 g | 115 ml (scant 1/2 cup) |
| 6 | 78 g | 225 ml (scant 1 cup) |
| 12 | 156 g | 450 ml (1 3/4 cups) |
How we got these numbers: a large egg weighs about 50 g, and Health Canada’s Canadian Nutrient File puts a raw whole egg at about 76% water. That leaves about 12 to 13 g of egg solids, which is what the powder is. 13 g of powder also matches a large egg on calories (about 77) and protein (about 6 g).
Scrambled eggs and omelettes
- Whisk the powder and water together, or use a milk frother for the smoothest mix.
- Let it rest 1 to 2 minutes so the powder fully hydrates.
- Cook in butter or tallow over medium heat, stirring gently. Season as usual.
- Small clumps are normal when nothing is added to the powder; they cook out.
Baking
- Add the dry powder with your flour and add its water with the other liquids.
- Pancakes, muffins, cookies, breads and quick breads work well.
- Recipes that rely on whipped eggs (meringue, sponge cake, soufflé) need fresh eggs or egg white powder.
Camping, travel and the pantry
Whole egg powder is pasteurized and shelf-stable, so it needs no cooler. Pre-measure servings into small bags at home, add water at camp and cook in one pan. Keep the main bag sealed in a cool, dry place and reseal it tightly after each use.
