Eggs are authentic street snacks in Hong Kong. It is said that they were originally developed by the owner of a grocery store in order not to waste broken eggs.

Ingredients: low flour160g, egg100g, 60g of milk, 50g of clear water, 75g of fine sugar, 50g of corn oil and 4g of baking powder.
1, mix low powder and baking powder for later use.
2. Add fine sugar to the eggs and stir moderately. I usually use three eggs, but the weight of each egg will be different. It doesn't matter. Just adjust the amount of clean water, that is, the amount of eggs added with clean water is150g.

The origin of eggs
Eggs originated in 1950' s. In order not to waste the broken eggs, the grocery store owner tried to add flour, butter and other ingredients to make them into paste, and then baked them in the reverse mold. Later, the mold was designed in the shape of a small egg, but it was very popular. At first, eggs were made from duck eggs, because they are cheap and strong, and the fishy smell in eggs can make them more fragrant. Eggs are traditionally sold by street vendors in wheelbarrows. However, there are also snack bars that make and add different flavors, such as chocolate, shredded coconut, black sesame and other fragrant eggs. These snacks appeared in Hong Kong in the 1950s. After decades of development, they have spread all over the streets of Hong Kong, but it is difficult to find them in the mainland.
