This is in a list of ingredients on a packet of pancakes: - Eierkuchen: Wasser, Weizenmehl, Vollei, Zucker, Stärke, Vollmilchpulver ...
I don't think they mean one whole egg, but I'm not sure what they could mean otherwise. Any budding cooks out there?

Comment: "Thanks Lydia. I just found confirmation of your (and my) initial suspicion. I just found it a bit of a strange way of phrasing this as I'm used to recipes where they just say 1 egg/1 Ei and then you automatically assume that this is both the yolk and white unless otherwise stated."

whole egg
That's at least how EURODICAUTOM has it. Not so far away from "entire egg" though but what they want to express IMO when stating this ingredient is not so much the number ("ein ganzes Ei") but the fact that this stuff contains the whole of the egg (i.e. yolk and white). Usage is IMHO similar to e.g. wholemeal bread = *Voll*kornbrot.
