Scrambled Eggs Recipe With Flour

by Louise
(winnipeg ,mb,canada)

Hello
I start to work in a nursing home with 350 resident and for breakfast they serve scramble eggs. When we do them they add flour to the batter and they say that it's to keep them from turning brown and makes them fluffy when placing them in the steam table that goes on the floor. I been a cook for 20 years and it's the first time that I make scramble egg with flour. Could you tell me the proper way to do it? Thank you in advance.

They add flour to scrambled eggs at certain diners and chain restaurants. They do this at IHOP, I spoke to a woman that had to request that they not add flour to the eggs because she has a gluten allergy. I am not sure about Dennys or other diners though.

by: SmokerBill

This idea of adding flour to scrambled eggs intrigued me, so I just had to try it! This morning, I devised my plan...

-One rounded teaspoon all purpose flour
-Two teaspoons or so water
-Two whole eggs
-Two tablespoons milk

Add the water to the flour and mix will, making a lump free runny paste. Mix the two eggs into the flour/water mix until combined, then add the milk and mix again. Add a dash of salt and pepper, mixing in.

I poured the egg mixture into an oiled skillet heated to medium, and let it sit until a thick layer of cooked egg formed. I gently scraped it around with a spatula in order to get the remaining raw egg onto the hot skillet. When there was no runny egg left, they went onto a plate to cool for a couple minutes.

I thought they were great. The flavor was good, with no hint of the flour detectable. The texture was light, soft and creamy. They just about melted in my mouth!

The scrambled eggs didn't weep any liquid the way normally made scrambles do.

Very good idea! I believe I'll add flour to the eggs every time I scramble them from now on. I'm glad you brought it up here at my website.

Thanks!

I've never heard of doing that either, but I'm really interested in trying it. My guess is that the flour changes the texture and prevents the liquid from separating from the cooked eggs. Very interesting idea.
