Breaded schnitzel - but you only have one more egg
It is Saturday evening, you want to bread 4 schnitzel - so flour, egg, breadcrumbs and finds that you forgot to buy eggs. A single one is still in the fridge.
You can help yourself by stretching the one egg. And with milk and water. Separate the egg, whisk the egg yolk with a tablespoon of milk. The egg whites are whipped together with 1 tbsp water. Now both are mixed and already enough eggs are available to roll the floured schnitzel into egg.
This does not help, of course, if one is on Sunday morning for a breakfast egg. In the Ruhr area, there is still the opportunity to go to the shack - the small sales kiosks that were created in the days of coal mining. So that the miner could always flush the coal dust from the throat! Nowadays, after closing time, they are still the lifeline of milk to toilet paper.
