Betty Crocker 1950s Easy Scrambled Eggs Recipes

SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, water, salt and pepper with a fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
• In a 10-inch skillet, heat the butter over medium heat just until it begins to sizzle and look hot.
• Pour egg mixture into skillet. The egg mixture will become firm at the bottom and side very quickly. When this happens, gently lift the cooked portions around the edge with a turner so that the thin, uncooked portion can flow to the bottom. Avoid constant stirring because the eggs will become dry and rubbery rather than light and fluffy.
• Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist and creamy. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat eggs, chives, salt and pepper with fork or wire whisk until well mixed.
• In 10-inch skillet, heat milk and butter over medium heat just until butter melts and liquid is steaming. Pour egg mixture into skillet.*
• As mixture heats, portions of eggs will begin to set. Gently push cooked portions with metal spatula to the outside edge of skillet. Avoid stirring constantly.
