Welcome to Jen's Daily Dish.

Prepare to make scrambled eggs two ways: with and without potato starch.

Gather ingredients: eggs, butter, potato starch, water, salt, and pepper.

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a little salt and pepper.

In a non-stick skillet, heat water over medium-high heat until it evaporates, leaving only a few droplets.

Add cold butter cubes to the skillet and wait for it to melt and foam.

Pour in the whisked eggs with potato starch and cook, stirring gently.

Taste the eggs with potato starch, noting they are very buttery, soft, and tender.

In another skillet, add more butter and pour in the eggs without potato starch.

Taste the eggs without potato starch, noting they are bouncier and still light and delicious.

Compare both versions side by side, noting texture and color differences.

Conclude that both methods yield tender eggs, but the potato starch guarantees tenderness.
