Tip #1: If you’re making a fluffy scrambled egg, don’t add milk or flour. Instead, whisk in a splash of water or a tiny bit of cream. The water turns to steam and creates lightness—no starch required.
Tip #2: For a starch-free thickening agent in sauces, try using egg yolks. That’s the secret to a classic hollandaise or a rich lemon curd. The lecithin in yolks naturally emulsifies without any cornstarch.
Tip #3: When baking, you can replace 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 beaten egg for a denser, protein-rich texture in muffins. Just know that the final product will be less fluffy but more satisfyingly rich.
