I have always been told 13, but this makes no sense when 12 equals a dozen.
This is the story I found about how 13 became the bakers dozen. It is just an excerpt from the real Dutch story, but I thought it was interesting.
Van Amsterdam the baker was well-known for his honesty as well as for his fine Saint Nicholas cookies. He always gave his customers exactly what they paid for—not more, and not less. So how could he agree when an old woman comes on Saint Nicholas Day to insist that a dozen is thirteen?The woman’s curse puts an end to the baker’s business, and he thinks it would take Saint Nicholas to help him. But if he gets that help, will it be exactly what he bargained for?
So you see a woman caused all the commotion about the baker's dozen being 13, how funny! This is about cookies not eggs though.
