Lovely, soft, buttery scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

QuantityMeasureIngredient
3wholeeggs
2tbswater
1tsptapioca flour (or cornstarch)
1/2tspsalt
1/2tspwhite pepper (ground)
1/2tspblack pepper (ground)
2tbsbutter

Directions

  • In a bowl add the water and tapioca flour. Mix well.

  • Crack all the eggs into the bowl.

  • Add the salt and pepper. Whisk lightly with a fork.

  • Get the frying pan nice and hot and add the butter. Wait for it to melt.

  • Pour in the eggs and get ready, this part happens fast. Wait for the eggs to form a skin on the bottom, then shove them gently to one side of the pan. The liquid eggs will flow into the now empty space. Repeat a couple of times until all the eggs have been exposed to the pan. You should have a small pile of “almost” fully cooked eggs. You want it to just be past the runny stage, but maybe a little runny inside the pile.

  • Serve on buttered toast.

Notes

You can cut back the butter a little if you’re watching your weight, but it really does make them extra creamy and improve the mouth-feel.

Don’t use olive / canola oil. The eggs will slide around freely in butter, not so much in other forms of oil.
