Fluffy Scrambled Eggs - Lightened up a Bit

Submitted by puppitypup

"This recipe was inspired by tips from both Kittencal and PaulaG. Kittencal came up with the idea of adding baking powder to scrambled eggs to make them fluffy, and PaulaG passed on a tip about using non-fat or low-fat evaporated milk in place of whipping cream in certain recipes. Thanks to both of these great chefs!"

I used 3 large eggs for the 2 off us and the DM and I had an enjoyable breakfast, served with buttered wholemeal/wholegrain toast. Next time I will add some finely chopped fresh herbs to add some extra flavour. Thank you puppitypup, made for Everyday A Holiday.

I think every DH is easily impressed with fluffy eggs! Well, we had this without him, but when I made fluffy scrambled, after a different recipe, he was so happy. This is the way we do scrambled eggs from today! Next time I'll dress them up a little.Thanks.

I think that you can say that this was a resounding success.This is the way that it will be done from here on in.Thanks Puppity for such a simple and fabulous recipe. Made for 1-2-3-4 Hit Wonders.

These were so good.... I was hesitant about the baking powder at first but they turned out great and so fluffy.... I cooked them with diced up ham and some shredded cheese.... They were loved and I'll be fixing them this way from now on... Made for photo tag 2008...

I would never have thought of putting a little baking powder in scrambled eggs to make them fluffier. The eggs turned out perfect. They were nice and fluffy and tasted great. Next time I am going to some diced ham and shredded cheese. Thanks for another great recipe, puppitypup. Made for May, 2008 Bevy Tag.
