You should be fine.
The concern is with salmonella in the eggs, but I don't think the CDC has any reports of salmonella from eggs in quite a while.
Just make sure your eggs are fresh and undamaged. If you see dirt on the egg before you crack it, then I would not for this batch since eggs are generally cleaned and sanitized before packing. "Dirt" would imply one got through the system.

It is true that you can possibly get food poisoning from the raw eggs in the batter. But the same goes for cookie dough. It is said to possibly contain salmonella in the raw eggs. But I love sunny side up eggs and they are considered to possibly contain this as well. Bottom line you could get sick. Just don't eat too much because too much of anything is bad for you. You wouldn't be the first or last person to take the risk. Some people are just unlucky enough to get sick from it. Some people have immune deficiencies or had a flu shot that gave them the swine flu so they can't handle that possibility. Keep in mind.. though I'm not sure you can taste the salmonella don't eat the batter if it tastes slightly off. You never know. You could be saving yourself a lot of grief by passing it up that one time. Just be careful and don't eat raw chicken no matter what... besides that's just gross! ICK! lol

P.S. if you are really worried take your few spoonfuls before adding the eggs. The eggs mainly make it fluffier when baked.

LOL, it's really bad, but way back in high school my friends and I used to make the batter without the eggs so we could safely eat the batter! We did it with cookie dough too....that seems so gross now.

Didn't your mom ever give you the batter left in the bowl? Or even the blenders to lick! Well there is alot more left on a blender or in a bowl then a few spoon fulls! There would be alot of real sick kids if it hurt you! ENJOY!

I wouldn't recommed it because of the salmonella that can be present on the shells or in the egg, it is a deadly bacteria that can kill if not treated in time, so no i wouldnt recommed it.
