Flour is the limiting reactant because the recipe requires 2 cups of flour per batch, meaning you could only make 2.5 batches with 5 cups of flour. In contrast, you have enough eggs for 3 batches (9 eggs for 3 eggs per batch) and enough oil for 3 batches (3 tablespoons for 1 tablespoon per batch), making flour the limiting factor.
