Thanks for your responds

Hi, also a newbie here.....I always use extra large eggs, the same number that the recipe calls for & never had a problem. I think the eggs are smaller now days than they used to be anyway. LOL

I have always used "jumbo" eggs in all my baking........ so far so good.....

LG eggs are 2oz. They go up, or down a 1/4 oz per size.
