Eggs will be 'perfectly fluffy' when 1 ingredient is added before cooking — not milk
Scrambled eggs, a timeless classic that never loses its charm, whether it's nestled on avocado toast or starring in a full English. They're effortlessly light and fluffy, and whipping them up is a doddle.
Yet, even with such a simple dish, there's room for slip-ups, like the dreaded watery scramble that can dampen any breakfast. While many tout milk as the antidote to this soggy scenario, a top tip from a culinary whizz suggests otherwise.
This game-changing advice comes courtesy of Delish's kitchen gurus on TikTok, where they've unveiled the secret to achieving "perfectly fluffy" scrambled eggs that could grace any posh brunch menu.
The twist? Skip the milk when you're beating your eggs, despite popular belief. Instead, they advocate for a dash of water, reports the Express.
It might raise eyebrows, but there's method to the madness. The expert explained: "The dairy proteins cook at a different rate to the egg proteins, and this can result in watery eggs."
Here's how to rustle up the creamiest scrambled eggs in your own kitchen.
Creamy scrambled eggs
Ingredients
4 eggs
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp water
Butter or oil for the pan
Method
Crack your eggs into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in some salt and whisk. Next, pour in a bit of water and give it another good mix, then let the mixture sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
Get your non-stick pan heated to a medium-high temperature - this is important for fluffy curds. Pop in a splash of oil or a knob of butter to give your eggs that extra luxurious, creamy finish.
Let the eggs cook for a few minutes, then grab your spatula and gently nudge them about the pan once they begin to set.
But here's the golden rule - and it's absolutely crucial - whip those eggs off the heat while they're still "slightly wet".
The expert revealed: "They're going to keep on cooking even after they hit the plate."
Displaying her perfectly velvety scrambled eggs on toast, she concluded: "Follow these rules and your eggs will come out just like this every time."

Moment runaway wallaby is spotted bouncing around the English countryside
A runaway wallaby has been caught hopping around the English countryside - as police launch an appeal to help find it. The small mammal was spotted outside the village of Ilketshall St Andrew, near Bungay, Suffolk on Tuesday. Wallabies are usually associated with Australia and New Zealand but sightings in the UK are becoming more common especially on the Isle of Man. Suffolk Police were called to a sighting the following day and have urged anyone who sees the animal to contact them. Steven Ellis, who works on the land nearby, snapped the wallaby on his camera after initially thinking it was a deer. He said: 'We've got quite a few deer around so I thought I must be mistaken. 'But then I thought it was a kangaroo - I don't think they're far off. 'I stood there thinking 'who do I ring to tell them' but I thought no one is going to believe me. 'I've never seen one around here ever before. It's a very strange sighting. 'You'd expect to see it on holiday in Australia.' Steven added he managed to get hold of his friends who strolled up with the greeting: 'G'day mate'. The wallaby then disappeared into the bushes and Stephen said he had not seen it since. Suffolk Police were also called on Wednesday (August 13) after a wallaby sighting near Halesworth. The force encouraged anyone who has spotted the animal to contact them. It is not clear whether it is wild or has escaped captivity.

'I left America for UK and there are three surprising ways British gardens are different'
'I left America for UK and there are three surprising ways British gardens are different' It's is a popular pastime for many people around the world, but it seems there are some major differences when it comes to gardening on both sides of the pond One man spotted three ways British gardens are different to American ones (stock image) (Image: Peathegee Inc via Getty Images) Gardening is a beloved pastime for many across the globe, offering a chance to connect with nature and experience the satisfaction of cultivating one's own produce. It can be a therapeutic activity for many, with no limit to the variety of plants and flowers that can thrive in home gardens. The basics of gardening involve understanding soil composition, choosing suitable plants based on climate and growing conditions, and effective planting techniques. There are certain simple tasks that every garden requires, such as sowing, weeding, watering, pest control and general maintenance such as mowing the lawn. However, there are some nuances in gardening practices depending on the country. TikTok user @grande_americano, a Texan living in Suffolk with his British wife, offered such insights. He provided his followers with snapshots of his life in the UK, including how it differs from the US. In one of his videos, he discusses the differences between American and British gardening. He then highlighted three differences he has noticed, sharing his observations with his friends back in the States. 1. Brits don't say 'yard' or 'yard work' Content cannot be displayed without consent The first difference the Texan noted was that Brits don't typically use the terms "yard" or "yard work". He explained: "Gardening means everything you do in the yard. When I grew up you did yard work, which was mowing, trimming, edging and a garden was a separate thing." Article continues below He clarified that while a garden typically refers to a space for flowers or vegetables, in Britain, the term "garden" encompasses the entire outdoor area – what he would refer to as the yard, lawn and the spots where flowers and vegetables grow. The expat also found out that when a Brit talks about having a garden party, they're actually referring to an event held in the yard. 2. The soil is 'nice' Moving on, the TikTok creator shared: "The second thing is the soil is nice. I did a little bit of gardening today and it was actually somewhat pleasant to be able to pull weeds and dig around and not be hitting rocks after a half inch of top soil, like I would be doing in Texas where I'm from." He discovered that there's no limestone or dolomite to chip through in his UK garden, unlike in Texas. The American described the soil as "nice, rich dirt". 3. No 'weird' critters in the UK The final difference he observed is the absence of "weird critters" commonly found in Texas, such as scorpions or venomous snakes. He remarked: "I did see quite a few spiders and slugs and snails, [I] even saw two newts." Despite spotting "plenty of critters wandering around" and "lots of good fishing worms" in the soil, he noticed that they go about "minding their own business". Article continues below The Texan added: "I've been told that there are some snakes here in the UK and possibly one viper, one venomous snake but I've been told that you'll be lucky to ever see a snake, much less a poisonous one." The American conceded that despite his occasional complaints about the weather, it's the mild climate, coupled with the moisture and humidity, that results in "such beautiful lush gardens and scenery and countryside that we all really love".

Scots are seriously divided over different names for back-to-school essential
Read on to find out the different names for the school staple SHOE KNEW Scots are seriously divided over different names for back-to-school essential Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTS have been left seriously divided over what they call these back-to-schools essentials. Many of us will remember wearing the black rubber-soled canvas shoes for PE classes at primary school. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 There are several different names people call these school gym shoes Credit: Handout And it turns out people across the regions of Scotland call them different names. A recent YouGov survey from nearly 38,000 people across the UK show that many have their own word for the school staple. 'Plimsolls' is the most popular name for the trainers throughout the UK - with 53 per cent saying it is how they would typically refer to the shoe. It is mostly used in Tayside, the Scottish Borders, Fife, Lothian and Grampian areas in Scotland. Around five per cent of people in the UK call them 'sandshoes' or 'sannies'. The shoes themselves were originally known as 'sandshoes' - and this has hung on in parts of Scotland. Some even call them by the nickname 'sannies'. A total of 52 per cent of people in Refrewshire and 47 per cent of Glasgwegians call them 'sandshoes' or 'sannies'. The simpler descriptor of 'gym shoes' is used across Scotland with around 20-24 per cent in most regions of the country using the term. This is also rising to 29 per cent on Tayside and 39 per cent in the north eastern Grampian area. Shoppers go wild for 'Scottish uniforms' in Quiz that English schools would ban Overall, only six per cent of people in Britain use the term. For nearly four in ten people in Lanarkshire (38 per cent), as well as 32 per cent of people in Central Scotland, 'gutties' is the go-to name. This is a word that derives from a type of rubber once used to make them. The Lothians are home to one of the most specific regional terms, with 18 per cent calling them 'rubbers'. However, 'plimsolls' is the most common name for them in the area. For 23 per cent of people in the UK, the black school canvas shoes are called 'pumps'. While the name has some currency in most of England, it is virtually unused in mid Scotland. 3 A YouGov map shows what names UK regions call the school shoes
