Creamy Cornstarch Scrambled Eggs

Creamy Cornstarch Scrambled Eggs — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Yield 1

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1½ tbsp whole milk
  • 1¾ tbsp cornstarch or potato starch

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a cup, whisk together the milk and cornstarch until it is free of lumps.
  2. 2
    Add the cornstarch mixture to your eggs, and beat until smooth. Season with salt.
  3. 3
    Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat until hot, then add the butter—it should sizzle right away.
  4. 4
    Wait until the butter’s melted and bubbly, but before it browns. Add the beaten eggs. Wait without stirring anything, until the edges of the eggs start to bubble up (about 3 seconds).
  5. 5
    Remove the skillet from the heat. Start stirring the eggs, making 1 full circle per second, for about 11–12 seconds. The eggs will have absorbed all the butter but remain partially undercooked. Do not wait until they look fully cooked!
  6. 6
    Transfer them onto a plate.
  7. 7
    Season with black pepper to taste and serve.
