Are you tired of the same old scrambled eggs for breakfast? Looking for new and exciting ways to use powdered eggs in your cooking? Look no further! In this article, we’ll be sharing a variety of delicious powdered egg recipes, from French toast to sweet and satisfying baked goods.
Whether you’re an avid home cook or just looking for an easy and convenient protein source, you’ll find something to love in our collection of powdered egg recipes. So why wait? Let’s get cooking!
Although you may store packs of these specifically for food storage, you should also consider making recipes with them in your everyday meals. In this article, we will be going over the best powdered egg recipes you can make using powdered eggs.
Let’s dive right into the powdered egg recipes.
Powdered eggs have several advantages over a fresh egg.
A dried egg should ideally be rotated every three years if stored properly (cool, dark, and dry). However, some claim to have used ten-year-old powdered eggs (We do not recommend that).
It is not necessary to keep the eggs in the refrigerator; however, as previously stated, keep them in a cool, dark place. Dried eggs require significantly less storage space. This means that large quantities of eggs can be stored in a small amount of space.
Rehydrating eggs for use in omelets and scrambled eggs requires only the addition of a liquid, usually water or milk. Because the eggs are powdered, they can be added to baked goods without first being mixed with a liquid.
8 Powdered Egg Recipes
Now we’ll get into 8 of the best powdered egg recipes. These are simple recipes that you can easily do.
Regular Eggs
For a medium egg, combine 1 tablespoon egg powder and 2 tablespoons of water. 2 tbsp egg powder + 1/4 cup water = 1 extra-large egg (Remember that there are 16 Tablespoons in 1 Cup to make multiple egg conversions easier)
When baking, you do not need to re-hydrate the eggs before adding them to your mix; simply add the necessary egg powder and water to your mix and proceed as directed by your recipe.
If you need to cut a recipe in half, use half the powdered mix.
French Toast
- Orange Syrup French Toast
- 3 eggs (3 tablespoons dehydrated eggs + 1/3 cup water)
- 1 cup milk (3 tablespoons milk + 1 cup water)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 8 slices 1-inch thick day-old French bread
Cookies
If you’re going to make cookies with powdered eggs, you’ll get a better result if you combine the egg powder with the butter and sugar first rather than adding it in at the end. This is the perfect sweet survival food.
However, if you combine the butter-sugar mixture with the egg and necessary water, you will get a mix because the water does not want to mix with the fat in the butter.
So, here’s the recipe: Combine the water, egg powder, and sugar, then add the butter. and continue with the recipe as follows, using the 1 Tbsp. dry egg powder + 2 Tbsp. water to equal 1 egg formula.
Prepare the dough as directed above. Cut in half and wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm.
Wrap each half in wax paper and shape into a 15-inch log. *Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place on ungreased baking sheets in 1/2-inch thick slices. 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
*This recipe yields about 5 dozen cookies. These cookies can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 8 weeks.
Swedish-Style Pancakes
- 3 tablespoons powdered eggs
- 6 tablespoons water 1 cup powdered milk
- 3 cups of hot water
- 4 tablespoons melted butter-flavored shortening or oil (or real butter)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups whole grain flour
Cakes
Cooking cakes with powdered sugar depends on the situation. Is the cake frosted, or will it just be dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with glaze? I use 2 tablespoons of dry egg powder + 1/4 cup water to equal one egg for anything that requires frosting.
If I don’t do this, I’ll end up with a crumbling mess. However, if I’m glazing, I can get away with 1 tablespoon dry egg powder + 2 tablespoons water to equal an egg.
I don’t do anything special when adding the egg powder because the pattern with most cake recipes (homemade or mixed) is to combine all of the ingredients and mix them together.
Corndog Muffins
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 12 cups of flour (about 2 cups fresh ground wheat)

- 2 powdered eggs
- 2 cups of milk (can use powdered milk)
- 8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 hot dogs, sliced into thirds
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add to the dry mix and stir in cheese until just moistened.
Lemon Bars
Lemon bars are an amazing baked good that has a fairly short cook time.
Crust
- 1 cup butter (or 1 cup butter powder and 1/4 cup water) for the crust
- a 12 cup powdered sugar
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
Filling

- 2 cups of brown sugar (can make your own brown sugar)

Too many typos for this to be useful. 12 cups of sugar in lemon bars and no lemon!
Allowing powders to rest for a few minutes in the refrigerator or on the counter is vital when using them. Then, before cooking, take a whisk and add a little air to it. Next time, for any other readers like me out there, give it a go.
Thank you very much for sparing your time to write this blog. I was considering purchasing some for travel because I could cook my breakfast in the microwave, but I was concerned about the flavor. I was similarly undecided about which brand to purchase. I’m curious if it would make good eggnog. I considered preparing an eggnog mix using powdered milk, eggs, spices, and sugar. Anyway, thank you once again!
