Does anyone bake with goose eggs?

[eggsbury]

I bought them because they look so gorgeous I thought I would have a go at blowing them and painting them. Any top tips for using them in baking or will it make everything taste funny?

We used to use them to make egg custard when I was little and it was deeeee-licious.

scramble them instead?
think one is worth 3 hens' eggs but I'd make something where exact proportions are less important (ie not a cake)

MrsB - that's what I wanted to check - whether I have to talk DS into scrambled eggs for supper - but not even he can eat 4 goose eggs (12 hens eggs) worth of scrambled eggs, so that is not the whole answer! The lady in the farm shop said they were equivalent to 3 hens eggs as well - I could weigh them to check?

good idea to weigh them - 4 goose eggs would be one hell of a dinner!

(NB once blown you can keep the insides for a day or two in a tupperware in the fridge if you can't think if how to use them tonight)

make quiche?

My mum used to make cakes with eggs from our chinese geese - they were fine, she'd do a 3 egg victoria sponge recipe with one goose egg. I think Chinese goose eggs may be a little smaller than the white variety.The cakes were a darker colour than hen egg cakes - an orangey tint - again that may just have been the Chinese eggs.

Thanks Rusty - I think it was the yellowishness which I had a vague memory of - so I was thinking of chocolate things - except I want to make Lemon Drizzle cake as well!
