Omelette!

[NanaNina]

PLEASE can someone tell me how to make a nice fluffy omelette. Mine always come out like pancakes. How difficult can it be to whisk eggs and make an omelette but I can't do it!!!

My way of making them fluffy is to use a very small frying pan. Then the only way the egg can go is upwards. And you need to constantly pull the edges into the middle, then let runny egg flow into the gap you have made, and repeat, over and over. It will soon fluff up then.

I had this problem, then I found a real time video on You Tube showing how to do it properly. I'll see if I can find it.

What Mackerel said.

Do what mackerel said, then put the frying pan under a hot grill and watch it rise!

Ach, there are loads of videos on You Tube, I have no idea which one I watched!!

Like Mackerel says, you have to kind of stir the eggs around until it gets to the point where they are almost set and then swirl the pan to fill the holes.

You need to keep it on a medium heat the whole way through too.

If you want a really lovely fluffy omelette, separate the eggs, whisk the whites, then fold back together. And yes to the grill.
