00 Flour is the smoothest for pasta, and works well for scrambled eggs. Doesn’t clump-up.
Slowing down a tad, I’m 75.
That sounds interesting...I’ll have to try that!
I don’t like fluffy eggs either.....in fact I don’t whip them at all, just crack the eggs right into the pan and gently stir until done....I like them moist..but I don’t add milk or anything except butter.
He’s exactly right.
You’re here on FR, so you will always be a step faster than most everyone else the same age as you are. ;-)
Thanks for the tip!
Adding a quarter stick of butter to breakfast’s eggs. Yea, no.
Its fun to say tapioca.
” I got in trouble as a young teenager doing dishes and I scooped out the grease and washed her skillet!”
Heh. The same thing happened to me when I was a kid. Cast iron skillets are relatively inexpensive but are the best when you have yours properly seasoned. The last couple I got, 6 times each I put a thin layer of flaxseed oil on them and put them in oven set at a high temp. I don’t remember how long but it was quite a while. When I finished, I got a nice smooth black lacquer finish. I think I can fry eggs in them without them sticking but I haven’t tried yet.
Right you are. Almost as fun as saying chimichanga.
I use about a tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and beat the crap out of it, then cook in unsalted butter. Super fluffy, and I control the salt content.
That’s just how I like them, but I’ll consider adding a starch instead for a different texture.
Its very simple. Use bacon fat to grease the pan instead of butter. mmmmmmmm
I'm actually rather stunned to find out that apparently is not the case.

Sure we do. But there are good scrambled eggs and bad. I like knowing how these professional chefs make them. If you want to put some butter in the pan. Throw in 3 or 4 eggs and move them around some until they’re to your satisfaction, go for it.
But I like my scrambled eggs creamy and smooth. And I can’t stand scrambled eggs that are overcooked and dry and clumpy.
To each his own, my FRiend.
A little bit of butter in a pan, add a couple of tablespoons of milk or water to mix in the eggs; medium heat. The milk or water will steam the eggs. Best and easiest way to do it.

That sounds like it has potential. I’m gonna try to make them like that. It sounds like it gives a good scrambled egg dish.
Thank you for the link to Jacques Pepin and Julia Child.
Will be watching with my granddaughter the next time she comes over.
And then doing as we make scrambled eggs over and over.
I have a grown son who loves to cook in cast iron.....but it’s not always so good for my taste because I can taste the iron.
Nope!...but I'm sure as a Marine you might want to think...Maybe “Gunny” does have a better way to approach this...Its worth a try!....*wink*...after all..its only scrambled eggs...
