>sugar water makes the eggs fluffy!
No.

>>13223276
Sour cream a la Gordon Ramsay's creme freche method, aka dollop of sour cream 2/3 of the way cooked.

>>13223343
gordon ramsay doesn't have a scrambled egg recipe
he has a recipe for french creamed eggs that have to be served on top of toast

>>13223343
>>13223347
Daily reminder that Gordon Ramsey's reference steak recipe involves a pan.

>>13223333
>>13223339

>>13223386
>>13223394
so are you for milk or against it? make sense faggot.

>>13223391

>>13223276
Use half and half or heavy whipping cream.

None

1/4th cup ranch per egg

>>13223450
>Quarterth

>>13223444
This.

Ew none

>>13223276
Serious Question: What is the reason one would want to add milk? How does it benefit the dish?

>>13223729
it comes from old people telling their children that it makes eggs fluffy and creamy
pseudotards mostly from reddit come here and pretend to know how to cook spin that into the fat content of milk makes eggs fluffy
except that a splash of milk, even whole milk, has less fat than if you were to add an extra yolk into your scrambled eggs because milk is sugar water

Just a splash. You don't wanna drown the eggs.

>>13223276
None.

None, use heavy cream instead

>>13223521
or maybe he means "one-fourth" you fucking neanderthal

>>13223276
none use cream, about the same amount as half a yolk per egg.

Use a dollop of cream cheese idiot

>>13223993
Oh, he must have meant "one-fourthth" because 1/4 isn't said aloud as "one-four"

>>13223892
>>13223756

>>13223522

>>13223444
FUCKING DAORY IN THE MILK!! USE SOUR CREAM OR CREME FRAICHE OR CREAM CHEESE IT DOES A FUCKING DOFFEREMCE COOKLETS

>>13224169
lol u mad

>>13223276
Just a splash.

Damn there's a bunch of retards here who don't know adding a tiny bit of milk makes eggs fluffier/better.

>>13223729
a bit of liquid will make the egg mixture frothier. more air in the egg mixture = fluffier egg. not a particularly difficult or expensive experiment. try it and see if i'm full of shit.

>>13224238
You think we haven't tried it? It's too common. Everybody here has tried it. The intelligent ones know that it's worse. Redpill is when you stop doing it, not when you start.

>>13224246
ok pierre, you know best. i'm just telling you what you can see with your own eyes.

>>13223276
Just a SPLASH

My mother always added milk to scrambled eggs. After growing up, I tried it both ways and really prefer scrambled eggs without milk.

Why put cream when you'll cook it with butter?

>>13223276
>milk
>scrambled eggs
do amerimutts really do this
no seriously do they?

>>13224772
Exactly.

>>13223276
Is this a 4chan euphemism?

>>13223276
Just use some more butter if they come out too dry. Milk or cream ruins the scramble.

>>13223276
>adding milk instead of soft cheese

>>13223276
>cow tit excretions in my eggs
abomination
runny scrambled egg with NOTHING added is the ultimate

>>13224961
>adding soft cheese instead of gruyere
Pleb detected

>>13224169
*autism intensifies*

>>13223276
Are you making scrambled eggs or are you making stiff egg whites?

>>13224996
You're disgusting.

>>13223333
nice get

None. Only the Brits think pronounce "Scrambled Custard" as "Scrambled Eggs".

If you think that the scrambled eggs available in a standard elementary school cafeteria is the greatest thing in dining, then you'll like milk in eggs.

Otherwise, it's a waste of time and effort.

Never though about cream cheese in scrambled eggs, how does it effect the taste? Honestly I was taught to whisk milk with the eggs cause it makes it creamier or whatever but recently I started doing the Gordon Ramsey thing where you just throw the eggs in a pan on low heat and whisk constantly until it's a creamy looking spread with little to no uh, curdles or whatever you call the things that form when the eggs sit for too long. Maybe throw some tomatoes in near the end and put the entire mixture on some toast. Fucking delicious and my favorite way to eat scrambled eggs nowadays.

>>13223276
not a lot to maximize creaminess and fluffiness. like a half ounce per egg

>>13223276
Milk is my secret ingredient to make scrambled eggs extra fluffy. How did you know, OP?

I use a dash.

>>13223353
So?

>>13227313
Do you even know who Gordon Ramsay is? Holy shit.

>>13227318
Of course I do you retard, you the one acting like using a pan is a bad thing

>>13223276
I add sour cream towards the end of cooking, only a little. Those eggs in OP look overcooked.

thats lazy scrambled eggs OP, add ketchup.
if you wanna make REAL scrambled eggs
turn down the heat, take your time and do this
>>13227333

>>13223276
>Unseasoned scrambled eggs

I prefer a small amount of bechamel and an extra yolk.

2 eggs
1 yolk
2 tsp bechamel

Cooked in butter

Whisking in milk just makes eggs that weep liquid.

>>13223276
One quarterth ranched milk.

I always hated the texture of scrambled eggs with milk in it. I just go bare.
Butter
Black pepper
Salt
Egg
Crack egg into hot, buttered pan. Add salt and pepper as you scramble it. You're done. All the flavor, none of that snot texture.

>>13229153
Hey me too wats your discord?

I use a tablespoon per egg.

>>13227318
Never had issues with a pan when cooking steak. I bet you're one of those that just throws it in a fire pit for a "natural" way of cooking. Or you're just bad at cooking steak lmao

>>13223397
>an entire stick of butter for 10 eggs
Based as fuck

>>13223353
nice and hot

>>13223286
o.O

>>13223339
>sugar water
Bruh you stupid

>>13230793
You don't put skim chocolate milk in your eggs?

Nothing about the fat in milk makes it fluffier, it's the fact that with a little bit of milk when you whip the eggs it allows more air to be introduced
Then when you cook the eggs the air stays trapped inside and makes the eggs fluffier.
You can do the same thing without milk but it takes way more whipping since eggs are composed of long protein strands.

>>13232467
That being said I prefer to use butter
Crack eggs into pan, on medium low heat.
Stir with rubber spatula, mix in butter while it Cooks for smoother, tastier eggs. Top with salt, pepper and chives.

>>13223276
many milk

>>13223276
It least a milk for each egg

>>13223276
No milk. Just butter and cooked over low heat and slowly. If you really want to be indulgent then you can add some cream. Season with salt and pepper towards the end.

>>13224169
Heavy cream is better than Creme fraiche/sour cream. It’s richer and doesn’t have the tartness (which ruins the dish)

>>13224257

Youre giving an anecdote supported with confirmation bias. Not useful in the slightest.

>>13224772
The cream makes it taste richer. It’s not necessary, but it does work. The main thing though is to cook the eggs really slowly, use a lot of butter, to season them with salt/pepper, and to make sure to whisk it enough beforehand so that you don’t end up with any specks of egg white.

Also you need to make sure you don’t overcook them. They should still be slightly wet and glossy, not dry.

A lot of our grandparents/greatgrandparents grew up during the great depression. They did what they could to stretch meals. A few things just kinda stuck with a lot of families. Milk in the eggs (or even water) will give you just a little more to put on a plate. I don't make my scrambled eggs like this any more, but I grew up with this.

>>13224246
You're a fucking faggot lol

>>13232478
I don’t like the small, soft curds method personally. I prefer to have medium sized curds that are soft inside.
I love making scrambled eggs. So many little variables and tricks and preferences. I believe that it is a sort of benchmark for sauté cooks like the baguette is for bakers.

“Fluffy” eggs are overcooked and bland. If you add straight milk, you’re just putting more cooking time on the clock. That’s just more liquid that has to evaporate. Sure the steam creates an airier texture, but it also denatures all of the proteins with high heat.
If you add something to eggs, make sure it is something that doesn’t need to reduce vey much moisture. Like more yolks!

4 eggs
2 tbs flour
50-100ml milk

Weird how something so simple as scrambled eggs can cause the biggest fights on /ck/.

>>13223276
Use sour cream

>>13223729
It makes the eggs softer (even if over cooked) and lighter in flavour. Also I think it pairs better with black pepper far better than eggs with no additions or with an equivalent volume of butter.

>>13235952
>lighter in flavour
Why would I want that? I want my eggs to taste like fucking eggs.

>>13232507
Your response was also based upon anecdote supported by confirmation bias. Or have you done a statically significant double blind survey only to prove that chances are he is slightly favoured to be wrong/right about his enjoyment of a subjective experience?

Anecdote != wrong. It is supposed to mean unreliable, but given that he provided a reproducible experiment (and I am a scientist who reproduced it) 'anecdote' is a stretch. Especially when you harp on hypocritically and expend no effort trying to disconfirm.

>>13235973
Because lighter food doesn't make my stomach turn first thing in the morning.

>>13236003
In what universe is egg too heavy for anyone?

>>13236008
This one cuz they are for me

>>13223276
Zero

>>13236008
I have an issue with eggs in the morning only because my parents would always overcook eggs every day I lived with them from birth to 18, so a lighter flavor and scent is okay with me. I think because of them I can't even look at scrambled or omelette. I can only do over easy or poached in the morning, but I have always been so disgusted by the thought of breakfast due to their bad cooking that I usually just have tea or coffee with cream and wait until lunch.

>>13223276
that's mush
see any hibachi video for scrambled eggs
