I use a tiny bit of water and a Braun hand mixer. - sm

My scrambled eggs are very light and fluffy. Yum! Makes me want some right now.

Forgot to add. - Do not overcook them.

That's probably the most important thing next to not chopping them up while cooking.

Beat with a whisk, add about a tablespoon of milk - per egg, and do not overcook

medium heat, nonstick pan, butter in the bottom (for me).

I look a little shredded cheddar in them too, but that doesn't necessarily make them fluffy.

Try Doing Them in the Microwave - Eggs Fluff up

huge. Get a bowl, whisk up a couple of eggs with a little milk and butter. Put them in microwave on sensor reheat. Mine come out perfect every time, fluffy, yummy and so easy.

little bit of milk & little bit of flour - Ayn

I've never used a whisk or added milk, which I hope will make a big difference.

They are turning out dry and flat - because

you are overcooking them. Mix them thoroughly, incorporate plenty of air by whatever means you choose, and cook them at low heat until barely set. If they look "done" in the pan, they will be overcooked by the time they are served as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

What I Do - see msg

I whisk them fast in a bowl to incorporate air---you can use a fork to do this--then add a little salt, pepper and milk or half-and-half. Cheese is a bonus for taste.

I didn't see this mentioned here, but I keep stirring mine with a heat-proof spatula while they're in the frying pan. Eggs are easy to overcook, so use low-medium heat. They will keep cooking even as you are taking them out of the pan, so timing is key.

Adding milk to the eggs will make the eggs watery as they sit on plate. - Instead of milk, whisk in bit of butter. nm

How Do I Get My Peanut Butter Cookies To Stay FluffyFeb 01, 2015
I use a bag mix, which turns out fine.  Sometimes they stay fluffed up, other times not.  I've tried refrigerating the dough and using it cold.  Tried making big cookies.  Tried adding a tablespoon or two of flour to stiffen up the dough - we're high altitude in the west, almost 4700 ft. Why do these cookies insist on flattening out some times but not other times?    Any suggestions?  My husband likes the nice poofy ones,  like you put the ...

Unless you're making deviled eggs, or want to carry one in your lunch bag, you don't need the hassle of cooking it and then peeling it.  If you're going to chop it up for egg salad or curried eggs, it's way easier just to poach it hard.  Cooks faster and you don't have to deal with peeling them one at a time. I also found a curried egg recipe that I love.  It's super easy.  Just buy a jar of Alfredo sauce (in the spaghetti sauce section), add ch ...

I was wondering exactly what kind of "faith" board this is. The poster, Catherine, in the Jesus is Coming thread felt this was the "wrong forum" for posting one's religious beliefs while another posterior in that thread says that this "faith" board is meant to be all inclusive meaning persons of all faiths can post their beliefs here. I guess I wrongly assumed that the use of the word "faith" meant Christianity as it is my belief that Christianity is the only valid belief system worshiping ...

Let's increase the number of HB2 visas from previous years.  I do wonder what those workers are paid.  Is the real reason that there are not enough workers or is that just the excuse these companies get to use for paying less wages?  Maybe if the places like Mar-a Lago would pay a decent wage (no, I'm not talking about $20 an hour), which I am sure they can afford, maybe they would be able to get Americans to work these jobs. ...

We've been asking the wrong question. My family has a business. We hire people, so according to the current standards, we should not have to pay taxes. We are creating jobs. However, we have not yet reached that magic number. It's  higher than most of you think. You have to make more than a million a year, much more than that probably, before you get to stop paying taxes. Before you get to that point, you get to save money in other ways.
