Fried dough sticks don't have to put eggs, but they can be successful without eggs, but the taste and taste will be brittle and hard, so whether the fried dough sticks put eggs or not is decided according to personal taste.

The main raw material of fried dough sticks is flour, followed by flour fermentation, which makes fried dough sticks unformed, so the indispensable component of fried dough sticks is flour, eggs are accessories, and eggs do not need to be put.
