Just make it yourself. Lightly roast the flour to sterilize it and wash the eggs thoroughly before cracking them open to reduce the risk.

I've never heard of washing eggs and before and it is controversial: https://backyardpoultry.iamcountryside.com/eggs-meat/how-to-wash-fresh-eggs-its-safer-not-to/

TIL, in the US eggs are washed making eggs more prone to infections and lower shelf life.

American eggs have a longer shelf life, but it's because they're refrigerated rather than left out at room temp.

if you refrigerate european eggs they can last very long also. Just anecdotal evidence but i have never encountered a rotten egg and i have cooked a lot of eggs

The problem is then more about potentially contaminating your refrigerator where you keep various raw foods. That's kind of the entire justification for why eggs in the US get washed.

eggs here are almost always clean already as consumers dont like to buy dirty eggs and are considered also safe enough to not contaminate any other raw food

Yep, we refrigerate pre washed eggs here in the US. Never really had issues with shelf life, and we don’t have to wash them or handle chicken feces in the kitchen. I imagine the risk of contamination from handling unwashed eggs is probably about the same as the risk of having potentially sooner to spoil eggs in the fridge.

Yeah I live in the EU and never had an salmonella infection from unwashed eggs in my life and I often eat raw eggs. The chance of getting salmonella from eggs nowadays is really small since chickens are all vaccinated.

That's only if you want to store it afterward. Not a problem if you immediately use it.
