Recipe Introduction
Nobody made scrambled eggs like mom. They were always fluffy and full. Here are her secrets!
List of Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Several grinds of ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
- Add the salt, pepper and milk.
- Whip with a fork until the streaks are gone and color is pure yellow. STOP BEATING WHILE THE BUBBLES ARE STILL LARGE - IMPORTANT NOT TO OVERBEAT!!!
- Put the butter in a 10 in nonstick skillet.
- Set the skillet over HIGH HEAT
- When the butter foams swirl it around and up the sides of the pan.
- Before the foam completely subsides pour in the beaten eggs.
- With a wooden or plastic spatula push the eggs from one side of the pan to the other - SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY. Lift and fold the eggs as they form into curds until the eggs are nicely clumped into a single mound - BUT STILL SHINY AND A LITTLE WET. 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. DO NOT OVERCOOK as the egg will continue to cook when on plate.
- Serve immediately.
Final Comments
Some keys for mom eggs - DO NOT OVERBEAT THE EGGS. Use HIGH heat, nonstick skillet and a plastic spatula. Take off just before you think they look ready as they will cook a bit more off the heat!
This is to serve 4 people - for 2 people do 2 eggs, 1/8 salt, 1 grind of pepper and 2 Tbsp of milk. Heat 1 1/2 tsp of butter in an 8 in skillet. Cook only 30 to 45 seconds!
