The best by date is in 2 days. I know about the water test for egg freshness so I’m not super concerned, but please give me ideas for using them up within a week or so 🥺 I’ve boiled a few and am planning to make some cookie dough, but that only counts for half a dozen.

    It absolutely can be done by hand, though it may be the dish that convinces you that an electric mixer is worthwhile! 🤣

    I’d say if you’ve made a hollandaise or whipped cream by hand, its a bit less work than that.

    I often cheat a bit and make a simple custard from 3 eggs, 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, whisked together and baked in a water bath until still jiggly in the center, but otherwise set and that’s barely any effort. Make a caramel to coat the bottom of your baking vessel that you add before the custard mixture and call that a flan.
