Hi, I have a recipe that calls for 4 eggs seperated...not the biggest cook in the world, so what does this mean? I am making pumpkin pancakes tomorrow (?) and I will be using egg beaters...but don't know what to do with this?

Usually when you see "eggs, separated," it means divide the whites from the yolks.
When you see something "divided," like "3 tsps vanilla, divided," it means you're going to use part of that 3 tsps at one point in the recipe, and the rest of it later on...
I'm pretty sure you're talking about "separated," though....
I'll let the substitution specialists advise on what you should do with that.

Tanya, Jen was right. They want you to separate the yolks from the whites so you can use either later in the recipe. Without seeing the recipe, I would say you're good to go with Egg Beaters for either the yolk or the white part. 1/4 cup of the stuff equals one egg, so if you separate one egg, I'd use 1/8 cup (or 2T) for either the white or the yolk -- and ditto for the other part of the egg later in the recipe.
That's about as clear as mud, ain't it?

I agree with Bev. I'd use 1/2 cup Egg Beaters when it calls for the yolks and another 1/2 cup when it calls for the whites!
