Light, fluffy, scambled eggs

[JSBIRD 1]

After 8 years of only a microwave to cook with, I now have a propane cooktop in my converted diesel pusher bus.
Growing up in the Deep South, and spending a good bit of time in Waffle Houses, I have experienced some of the best scrambled eggs on Earth.
This morning I managed to scramble two that were pretty damn awesome themselves, but I feel as if I may be missing something.
I'm beating the eggs until one consistancy and color, and throwing a small hunk of real butter in the pan first, then watch carefully to avoid making any of it turn brown.
Medium heat and work the eggs with a small spoon until all the 'shiny' is gone.
While they are great, anyone got any input to make them even better?

Actually I believe it is water that fluffs then up.

Try raising the heat to medium high. If the butter burns, substitute bacon grease.

Agreed - a little milk (or water), pour them in. As the outside edges firm up, pull them into the center. Once everything is cooked, you're done!

what is this water talk?? Blasphemy!!!!


You won't burn milk unless you burn the eggs. French toast you put milk in, do you burn the milk then????

It's milk, milk, milk. Don't listen to the others!!!

Scramble with a couple teaspoons of Tiger Sauce. Yummy!

A little water - not milk. Use one of those hand-held submersible blenders to get a lot of air into them

it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

But he's not making french toast..he wants light fluffy eggs. French toast isn't fluffy and the egg batter turns brown.

I use 2 tsps of water...low heat..let the pan get hot and its done in under a minute.~~April the Blasphemer

9 tablespoons of salt is a welcome addition to any portion of scrambled egg. Surprise your guests and be the life of the party

I use water too. I don't think it really makes any difference whether you use milk or water.

Powder sugar OR syrup?

Powder sugar!

Have you ever tried making french toast with Kings Hawaiin Bread? That's some tasty goodness there!

it's 4 milk against 4 water. Neck and neck coming down the stretch.

We need wolfgang puck to decide this. Let me go get him on google.

now it says nothing about water or milk, but does have cream which is closest to milk.
Milk wins!!! Milk wins!!!!

I have used both, and I like milk because it adds a creamy texture and taste

Thanks for the awesome input. I only have skim milk in my bus, so I guess that's a pretty good cross between milk and water.
I'll report my findings.
