are a meal that will never do you wrong; whether you have them in a full fry-up or with a bit of toast, it always goes down a treat. However, as quick and easy as it is to make, there are ways to elevate eggs from good to near perfection. And with this one small change to your , your scrambled eggs will be completely transformed for the better. It has nothing to do with how you whisk up the eggs or add anything to it. Instead, it is simply how you cook it.
Martha Stewart, known for her cooking products, books and shows, shared that her hack to making “the best-scrambled eggs in the whole world” is cooking the eggs in clarified butter. The chef explained on her show, Martha Stewart’s Cooking School, that this is “unsalted butter that has been melted and separated from any of the whey or milk solids that are found in butter.”

Funnily enough, she discovered the hack after using a pan of leftover clarified butter which was lying in the fridge from making lobsters the previous day, reports .
The couldn’t be any easier; all you need is eggs and unsalted butter. First, you have to clarify the butter, and chef and writer Meggan Hill explains exactly how to do so.
You’ll want to start by melting your butter over low heat. Meggan noted that “if the butter boils, the milk solids get dispersed throughout the fact, and you won’t be able to skim them off”.
She continued: “Skim off the foamy milk solids that rose to the top.” Once that’s done, you should be left with “pure butterfat.” Then you’ll want to set the butter aside. The best way to do this would be using a ladle to transfer it into a jar.

Now you’re all done with the butter, crack two eggs into a small bowl, add a pinch of salt and give the eggs a nice whisk. Setting your stove to a low heat, add some of the liquid gold butter to your pan and wait for it to warm up. A quick hack given by Martha to see if your butter is warm up is to sprinkle a few drops of water and if the water sizzles it is ready to go.
Pan and butter all warmed up? Add the eggs to the pan and move them around using a rubber spatula. “You want the eggs to cook and set, but you don’t want them to brown or get too hard,” the chef says in a clip.
Continue to give the eggs a stir, and in a few minutes, you should be left with “gorgeous fluffy and golden” scrambled eggs ready to enjoy however you like.
