Settle an argument...

I promised not to steer the question, so it's as straightforward as I can make it. This has been a discussion for several days now between a friend and I.

Thank you for your time.

 

I don't, but a former roommate does/did?

 

Yes.

You mean people pour milk over the eggs once they're already in the pan? That's just ... weird.

 

Of course. Though I've been known to use water, instead. Actually makes for fluffier eggs.

 

No. I mean some people don't put milk in at all. Just ... scrambled eggs.

 

I think she means mix milk in with the yolk before you beat them.

And the answer is, absolutely.

Unless I'm using Egg Beaters. In which case, no.

 

Oh, gotcha.

Well, I do. Makes them fluffier, as Zeke said.

 

No. My mother always did, though.

 

I never use milk.

 

When I ate scrambled eggs, I added milk.

My mother doesn't. She's weird.

 

I use milk more often than not but don't put it in before I put the eggs in the pan. Why waste an extra bowl when I can stir it all up once everything's in the pan? But I have heard people swear that adding milk was somehow just a horrible thing to do. I add milk and all kinds of other stuff.

 

ihop uses a little pancake mix in with their eggs. I tried it once. I think I was supposed to put the powder in, not mix some of it up and put that in. I ended up with little pancake scrambles.
