Scrambled eggs are a staple of any delicious breakfast, and while they may seem easy to make, many people can overcook this dish to make them hard or rubbery.
scrambled is simple but one big mistake people make is overestimating how long they should be in the frying pan, which can result in burned eggs stuck to the pan or soggy eggs which have too much liquid.
Dini Kodippili, a cook and founder of , has shared that the best way to make "creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs" is to add cornstarch to your eggy mixture before cooking them.
She said: "Use cornstarch or instant clearjel. This addition prevents the scrambled eggs from weeping after cooking and you won't find a pool of liquid underneath the scrambled eggs."
It may seem odd, but cornstarch will stop you from burning your scrambled eggs and will also improve their texture and creaminess so they taste much better.
Cornstarch creates a thin barrier around the proteins of eggs when they are cooked, which protects them against high heat and from cooking too fast.
Cooking scrambled eggs with cornstarch also helps in binding the proteins in eggs, which will result in a more velvety texture so they taste much creamier without them seeming too dry or soggy.
How to make perfect scrambled eggs You will need:All you need to do is pour your milk (or cream) into a large bowl and then add your cornstarch.
Stir until the cornstarch dissolves and there are no lumps in the mixture. Then add your eggs and a pinch of salt,

Place your plates and serving sides on your kitchen counter before cooking the scrambled eggs as it is a very quick recipe.
Heat a frying pan on a medium-high heat and add butter. Move the butter will a spatula until the butter is spread around, but it does not need to be fully melted.
Immediately add your eggy mixture, and as soon as you pour in the eggs, begin using the spatula to mix the mixture together.
If you like scrambled eggs extremely creamy then make sure they are not completely set before removing them from the heat. If you like more solid scrambled eggs, then cook them for a few seconds more to ensure the curds have completely set.
Once your scrambled eggs has come together, transfer them to a plate and top with black pepper, herbs, cheese or any topping of your choice.
