Can someone tell me how you handle egg boogers? I don't know how else to explain them. It is usually left on the end of my wisk after mixing cake batter but I have also found them in the baked cake. At least that's what I think it is. It ends up being a small gummy stringlike thing.
I have found it because it ends up on the edge of a cake and my leveler hits it.
I would hate to think what people eating the cake may think it is! ![]()
What is the easiest way to remove this before adding the eggs to the batter?
Are you talking about the Chalaza in the egg? It's a natural part of the egg. If you don't want it in the cake don't let it go in the batter when you crack the egg.
Ah, leah_s, your knowledge humbles me. *bowing down* I always referred to this as the "umbilical cord" in my egg. I use farm fresh eggs, and find that this part is always very visible. More than with store bought eggs. I usually fish it out with a small measuring spoon. (I crack my eggs in a separate container...don't you?)
Chalaza(s), Chalazae...
What do you do with the "Egg Snot"?:

You can whisk your eggs by themselves and then run them through a strainer. That will hold out the "boogers". Hehehehehehe![]()
