if a recipe calls for one egg, how do you split the recipe?

I just put in a full small egg. Not exactly accurate, but most recipes have room for adjustment.

Crak the egg,
take the 2 shells and have the egg in 1 of them,and transport the egg back and forth between the two shells,and the white should fall from the shells.

You can always use egg subsitute. I believe 1/4 cup of egg substitute equals one whole egg. Therefore you would use 1/8 cup of egg substitute for 1/2 egg. Hope that makes since ... just an idea.

It's not that hard ; by USDA definition large eggs weigh 24 oz/ per dozen . !0% of that weight is shell therefore each egg weighs around 1.8 oz.
There are 2 TBS per ounce liquid and one volume ounce of water also weighs one ounce therefore your egg contains 4TBS (actually the exact #is 11 tsps) divide by 2 and your problem is solved

Use the whole egg, it will just make the recipe more fluffy.

beat the egg, and use half the shell, or a tablespoon instad. however, it shouldn't hurt your recipe if you use the whole egg unless you are making pasta

I would just use the one egg, but if you have doubts then just beat the one egg, measure it and use half that measure.

you can either separate the yolk from the white, or scramble the egg; it becomes liquid that way, and you can use half an egg that way.
