Weigh in the shell. Weighing a few and averaging is more accurate.
Egg sizes are set by weight, and the US and UK scales differ. A 60 g egg is a US large but a UK and EU medium. Out of the shell it is about 53 g, so it equals about 1.06 US large eggs. A recipe needing 2 large eggs needs about 1.9 of these.
